Next Version of Bluetooth

Here is a good news for all the bluetooth users because from the next year the gadgets are going to use Bluetooth 3.0 i.e the next version of bluetooth.With the help of Bluetooth 3.0 you can achieve 10 times faster data transfer in comparison to earlier bluetooth version.This version could be useful for moving music or movies from a PC to a cell phone or media player.Three major chip companies -- Atheros Communications Inc, Broadcom Corp and CSR PLC, said they had products that would work with the new high-speed option.Whenever data transfer is required between two devices the bluetooth chip borrows a Wi-Fi chip in the same gadget to make the actual transfer.When the transfer is not in process then bluetooth chip turns off the Wi-Fi chip,hence saving a a lot of power.This new version of bluetooth is still 20 times slower than USB cable data transfer, so it will likely be less than ideal for a complete music library or a long movie.
