BLUETOOTH SMOOTHTOOTH

BlueTooth, Schmoothtooth.

All this Bluetooth talk. That's fine. Where the hell is it?

Anyone remember USB's near non-existence for its first 3 years of life? I sure do. Today USB is ubiquitous, thanks in part to the iMac, but also thanks to Windows 98 SE's good implementation of it. But USB was around for a good 3 years before that, and it took that bloody long to get a decent multi-tasking connecting technology to the desktop.

Bluetooth promises this and more - wireless connectivity between your devices. Sync that Palm without pointing it at your computer. Have a wireless headset for your PCS phone. Print wirelessly without line of sight. Lots of possibilities.

Where the &^%$#@ is it?

Come on industry, let's get rolling. Bluetooth receivers in all new notebooks. Bluetooth native inside PDAs. Bluetooth inside all new computer systems. Bluetooth inside that funky new LCD desktop screen.

Me? I want only one bluetooth device (well, one besides the Erickson phone)... I want a kickass pair of bluetooth-enabled stereo headphones - the band-less types that clip on to your ears, and a tiny receiver you plug into the audio jack of a walkman or, ahem, an iPaq or MP3 player. That would be so cool.
