Introduction to bluetooths

Bluetooth is, a way to communicate between two electrical devices. It is considered to be wireless technology because you do not actually have to have the devices connected together like say a USB cable. For example, you might have to connect your digital camera to a PC via a USB cable. Well, Bluetooth technology allows signals to be transmitted between devices via radio signals.

Bluetooth headphones

Bluetooth headphones are one of the latest crazes in the multimedia world. Much like the phone earpiece, the headphones are wireless, allowing listeners the freedom to move about without having to remain attached to the music source. Even better, the sets can connect to your MP3 player, computer, cell phone, home stereo, DVD player, TV or any other device supported by the stereo audio. Bluetooth headsets range anywhere to rather cheap to insanely expensive.

Background of bluetooth

Beside from the funny name, Bluetooth is one of the most misunderstood technologies in the world. Bluetooth is wireless technology that works with wireless phones, PCs, cameras, GPS devices, hand held devices, and even cars. Simply put its a way for different devices to communicate with each other by sending data via a secure, short-range radio frequency.

This article deals with the relationship between the cell phone and the hands free headset. Bluetooth generally has a range of 30 feet + or -. The first version of Bluetooth v1.0 and 1.0b had too many problems and so are no longer in use. most products on the market today use the Bluetooth 1.1 technology, a much more stable version.

Bluetooth development

WiFi (Wireless Fidelity) is a close cousin of the Bluetooth; they both use the same wireless technology to communicate. That's where the similarities end. WiFi was designed to provide wireless data connectivity while Bluetooth was designed to provide wireless device connectivity to networking and internet.

Though Bluetooth represents futuristic wireless technology, the name 'Bluetooth' is actually 10 centuries old. Named after a Scandinavian King, Harald Bluetooth, who managed to unite several unruly kingdoms, Bluetooth refers to the taming of myriad unruly competing standards by defining one worldwide specification.
