Rob Enderle Announces Death of Bluetooth

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the we-hardly-knew-ye dept.

prostoalex writes "Rob Enderle is typing away (perhaps even on his very own Ferrari laptop) at Intel Developer Forum, noting that Intel gave up on IEEE Ultrawideband and decided to switch to Wireless USB derivative. This, in Mr. Enderle's opinion, signifies the end of life for Bluetooth standard, although Enderle calls Bluetooth 'dead' in the title of the article and 'all but dead' in the actual text."

    This a hilarious! This guy is going to tell all the people using bluetooth that their technology is dead? You might as well say that BSD is dead. Who does this guy think he is? Slashdot?

    It was your understanding?

    Glad you know absolutelky fuck-all about the subject, then. Obviously al of those MILLIONS of mobile phone users who rely on BT everyday are nothing compared to what you "understand".

    Obviously, M$ must have some kind of Bluetooth-like short range wireless connectivity thingy coming out soon.

    The only reason I've ever found to read Enderle is to see what M$ is thinking...
