Bluetooth defies obituaries

Article Abstract:

The Bluetooth wireless communications standard, which promised to streamline messages sent between various wireless devices via radio-wave transmissions, is emerging more slowly than many industry analysts had predicted. Although Microsoft has declined to support the technology as immature, 13 million Bluetooth-based communications chips entered the market during 2001, and analysts are predicting that a plethora of hand-held commmunications products will emerge from hardware developers by the summer of 2002.

Motorola move on wireless modems

Article Abstract:

Motorola Inc will introduce its Newscard Advanced Information Receiver, a PCMCIA wireless device that will capture information services, electronic mail, data files and incoming phone numbers. Likewise, the company is introducing a new generation of wireless modems, the size of a credit card, that is intended to impact on the emerging 'nomadic' computing market. The technology is supported by companies with wireless computing products, including BellSouth, Apple, Compaq, Dell, General Magic, HP, IBM, Microsoft, RAM Mobile Data, Toshiba and Sony, among others. Actual wireless modem products will, however, not be available until early 1994. Motorola explains that it is announcing the technology early to give computer manufacturers time to integrate the modems in their products.
