Seriously people--give it up with the Bluetooth is dead crap. Look at the numbers. People like it. Let them. Do you get your jollies from trying to find imaginary wrongs with stuff? Get over it.
Fianlly, somebody has looked at actual physical market evidence before making assertions. I wish more people would see that big companies don't make stupid mistakes that often. Granted, it does happen occasionally, but the incorporation of Bluetooth does nothing but good for people who have it. It's not like it detracts from a product, and it is not that expenive for a company to incorporate it into its devices. People need to stop being so synical. Why does it seem like people want it to die? IT'S GOOD FOR YOU--really, Bluetooth is a psecial interest group--it doesn't even generate revenue. Why are we so pitted against it? Slowly but surely, it will become a part of life. Let it.
Big market, and not as expensive as you think

Is Bluetooth Dead?

· Score: 1
I would have to argue that it is not Bluetooth per se that is the expensive part, for if you look into purchasing phones in general, you'll see that the prices are fairly comparable. Granted, a phone incorporating Bluetooth technology may cost slightly more, but that is most likely because it offers other features as well, which also work to add value. You may want to look into the upgrade options within various cell phone service providers, becuase that can definitely cut costs back. I am currently trying to upgrade my phone to a Bluetooth-capable model, and I have found that there are several out there, all throughout a varied price range. Check it out.
I swear, the Bluetooth isn't what's expensive--it's the fact that only super new products that are loaded with other stuff are the only things that have it so far. Plus, how much is it worth it, especially in states where talking and driving is against the law. I mean, cars are coming out with Bluetooth in them too...this is not dead, it's just being faced with far too much doubt by people who expected too much too soon. Like anything, you need to give new things time. I remember a day when cell phones were hardly seen...c'mon now, I think everybody (I don't mean to be targetting you at all) is being a little too closed-minded. Look at what's on the market, because it's definitely grown.
