The latest version of Bluetooth, the Bluetooth 3.0 standard, is scheduled for its official launch later this month. The new technology is going to be even faster than existing Bluetooth adaptors which means that these cellular phone accessories will be able to be used for transferring data between phones at a speed that is far faster than in the past. The speed will be comparable to data transfer speeds over Wi-Fi today.
Speaking of Wi-Fi, the new Bluetooth is also going to be capable of actually piggybacking on to Wi-Fi services which means that you'll be able to use Bluetooth over Wi-Fi in some areas. If you're wondering why you would prefer to use Bluetooth instead of Wi-Fi directly, the answer is that the Bluetooth option is a lower-cost option that doesn't take away as much power from cellular phone batteries as straight Wi-Fi does. This means that you can have high-speed data transfers without reducing your phone's charge significantly.
The new Bluetooth standard will not only increase the speed of data transfers but should also improve call quality. Many phones today still get disconnected when syncing but that should no longer be a problem with the new Bluetooth standard. We'll see for sure on April 21st when it's released.
