Cellular Phone Forum / General / Bluetooth / April 2007Bluetooth 2.1 simplifies pairing and cuts power consumption
Looks like another backwards compatible version is being launched: http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/109194/bluetooth-21-simplifies-pairing-and-cuts-powe r-consumption.html It includes provision for NFC where pairing happens when devices are brought close together. BT is at last being taken seriously enough for usability to be looked out. BT used to stand for "Bloody Tiresome!" > It includes provision for NFC where pairing happens when devices are brought > close together. BT is at last being taken seriously enough for usability to > be looked out. BT used to stand for "Bloody Tiresome!" You can do everything you need using Bluetooth without NFC. You will see. :) Unless the phone manufacturers have more than one reason to add NFC this is not going to happen. pzboyz >> It includes provision for NFC where pairing happens when devices are >> brought close together. BT is at last being taken seriously enough [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > pzboyz If the power consumption has been reduced to 20% (?!) on intermittent devises, I wonder if ZigBee will ever really fly. In all honesty, I don't follow the subject closely enough to know if NFC pairing is that important or not. Simpler pairing must be A GOOD THING as with the non-passcode method proposed & already used by SE.  SignatureBasically, I hate people who preface nearly every sentence with the word 'basically'! in fact NFC will be in the phone in the furtur but as a "cash distributor". There is a big test in atlanat in the stadium about it... But for the simple pairing, on of the 6 improvement from the BT2.1 allow the user to simplify the pairing stage! > There is a big test in atlanat in the stadium about > it... There have been many of these test's in many countries of the world over many years. So far, it has not happened. NFC is a technology looking for a problem to solve. :( |
