Bluetruth

David Berlind debunk the truth about Bluetooth : that the wireless monetary standard just does n’t work all that well when it comes to connecting devices together . He describe gather with a pair of congresswoman from the Bluetooth Special Interest Group , and being whole unable to link together any of his three Bluetooth - enabled laptop computer . Helpfully , he does have a suggestion for what can be done :

alternatively of total up with a implementation guide , and then having each marketer build from pelf it ’s own implementation in hopes that they all form the same , I have a better idea . The Bluetooth SIG should join the Java Community Process and make a stock API so that a Java Virtual Machine can get at the Bluetooth ironware . Then , the Bluetooth SIG should develop a single Java - free-base program , one for each of the platforms ( phones , PCs , PDAs , etc . ) and distribute that program program to the 2,000 vendor that are members of the Bluetooth SIG . Then , from one personal computer to the next , from one PDA to the next , and from one earphone to the next , the software for grow something done with Bluetooth would bet the same .

Somebody good do something , because we ’re sire hazardously close to the item where it ’d be well to just scrap Bluetooth and pop over with a newfangled monetary standard .
