In spite of its rather tumultuous beginnings, Bluetooth has emerged
as a significant technology for short range connectivity. Now that
the Holy Grail of a true System in Package (SIP) Bluetooth module
is available, product designers no longer need to have RF expertise
on-hand to successfully integrate Bluetooth into headsets, printers,
PDAs, keyboards, mice, security systems, and a plethora of other
applications.
Way back in the late 1990s, when Bluetooth first arrived in concept,
a target price of $3 was proposed as the level at which adoption
would be ubiquitous. We are finally there and indeed, Bluetooth
technology is popping up all over the map. Even kids' toys are incorporating
Bluetooth ICs. Here are some Bluetooth resources to assist you in
your own endeavors.
