wireless technology are broadly available in the year 2000, they expect to have achieved
worldwide compliance.
Conclusion:
Imagine returning from the airport with your laptop in the boot of the car -- ordinarily it
would be impossible to interrogate the computer, but using Bluetooth your mobile phone
printer could automatically deliver print-outs and the audience could simultaneously
This scenario provides a small glimpse at the practical applications Bluetooth will enable,
Much talked about but never realized, the vision of a truly networked house full of
gadgets talking to one another is touted as a technological dream. But will the consumer
see it that way, or will such a vision remain the subject of futuristic speculation?
Inteco analyst Mark Riseley accepts Bluetooth could provide an easy solution for
need. "People are not crying out for Bluetooth devices," says Riseley. "They will
inevitably be asking, 'do I want to switch on the lights using my mobile phone?' It seems
a bit like taking a hammer to crack a nut and may not be considered worth the money."
Even if consumers are willing to pay money for devices that control security or lighting it
will be a long time before Bluetooth-enabled TVs, microwaves and videos become the
norm, according to Riseley. Taking a somewhat pessimistic view, Riseley reckons the
The vision of the unwired world, he argues, carries with it the assumption that consumers
are comfortable with gadgets and electronic devices, but can your mother program the
video yet? If Bluetooth goods are cheap, user-friendly and widely available, people will
start buying them but Riseley thinks it will be up to the manufacturers to convince us we
need it.
will come cheaply to the consumer. "In theory there could be a premium of up to $100
(£60) but I suspect it wont be loaded as highly as that," he says. A few years after it is
launched consumers can expect to pay less than £10 on top of the RRP of a product for
Bluetooth capability and with phone manufacturers predicting that 80 percent of handsets
will be Bluetooth-enabled by the end of 2001, the technology already has a guaranteed
audience.
As for networking our homes there are two main arguments: The first predicts a master
device controlling everything from the video recorder to the microwave that will replace
the PC as the technological hub of the home. The other suggests the PC will remain at the
centre of a networked home. According to Jupiter analyst Noah Yasskin, the latter is
more likely: "I don't see a TV-hybrid device replacing the PC," he says. Instead Yasskin
anticipates a home with several devices, all with limited jobs, with the PC as the central
control centre. Bluetooth, he says, will sit happily with a PC-centric networked home,
Hunn disagrees and suggests a more rapid acceptance of Bluetooth products. More
significantly, he argues, the sheer power of Bluetooth will change the assumptions we
have about electronic devices. With cables gone, Hunn imagines a future where the idea
of having a particular gadget for a specific job will no longer have any meaning. Mobile
phones will double up as TV remote control units and your Walkman could end up as the

Latest reports:
Nokia has announced a new member of its family of classic phones, which includes
Bluetooth support.
"The Nokia 6310 is a powerful package of technology, providing fast and easy
access to mobile services with WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) over GPRS
(General Packet Radio Service), as well as enhanced connectivity with integrated
Bluetooth technology. The Nokia 6310 is primarily targeted for mobile
professionals who need a reliable tool and innovative, easy-to-use solutions to
manage their business and leisure lives. The phone will be available during the
fourth quarter, 2001."
