Bluetooth 4.0 Spec Adopted

Posted by timothy on from the so-my-money's-wasted-on-nuclear-batteries dept.

adeelarshad82 writes "The Bluetooth SIG announced the formal adoption of Bluetooth Core Specification Version 4.0, which begins the qualification process for new, low-power devices. Bluetooth 4.0 [zipped PDF of the spec] was formally announced in April, and added a new, ultra-low-power aspect to the short-range personal-area-network technology. According to the SIG, the new 4.0 core specification should allow devices to run on coin-cell batteries for years with a new ultra-low-power duty mode."

    Warp engines would be good too. So would StarGates, food replicators, and holodecks.

    Holodecks? Are you insane? Do you even remember how many problems the damn thing caused on Startrek?

    I was hoping to see them establish a Power over BlueTooth in the standard but I guess we have to wait for 5?
