Everyone get ready for Christmas. If you are a Bluetooth Fan then tis the BLUETOOTH season......

The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) has unveiled the latest Bluetooth devices to launch in time for Christmas.


Highlights include a Sony Ericsson Bluetooth watch which syncs with your phone, a lightweight new headset from Nokia and the Freedom Universal Keyboard from Freedom Input.

The Bluetooth Watch MBW-150 is available in three designs and boasts caller ID, SMS notification, vibration alert and a mute/reject button. The watch’s display also shows what track you are playing via your phone’s media player, as well as possessing controls to adjust the volume, or skip and rewind tracks.

The Nokia Bluetooth Headset BH-702 looks sublime and only weighs 10g. The ear hook is impressively thin meaning there should be no problem wearing it with glasses. What’s more the BH-702 also offers an impressive 360 minutes of talktime.

The Freedom Universal Keyboard helps transform your mobile device into a laptop with a full five row alphanumeric keyboard using full sized keys for ease of use. When you’re finished it neatly folds away into a compact unit meaning transporting it can be done with minimum fuss.

All three devices will be on sale in time for Christmas, with both the MBW-150 and Nokia BH-702 out mid to late October and the Freedom Universal Keyboard out now.

Bluetooth helps find new Facebook friends

Thursday, August 16, 2007

Bath University scientists in the UK have created a tool which uses unique ID of Bluetooth devices, like cellphones, to build new friendship networks in the hugely popular social network Facebook.

Users register with the Facebook tool, called Cityware, to track encounters in the real world via Bluetooth.

"Networks are everywhere - social and digital. The really nice thing about Bluetooth is that when you are walking down the street, although you are not talking to anyone, your Bluetooth device can be talking to other devices.

"People with Bluetooth devices are actually creating an ad-hoc communications infrastructure where information can flow through the city over time." says Dr Vassilis Kostakos, research associate at the University of Bath.
The way Cityware works is, the tool lets users find out if any of the Bluetooth device users they bump into regularly are Cityware users, and have profiles on Facebook. If so, they can then choose to add that person to their friends' list.

The tool works in four parts: Facebook account, Cityware application, Bluetooth device and Cityware node.

Cityware users must have a Facebook account, install the Cityware application, and register the Bluetooth ID of their mobile phone or laptop with the software.

The researchers have set up a series of nodes around the United Kingdom and at locations in the United States. These nodes are computers which constantly scan for Bluetooth-enabled devices in a given area, and send that information back to servers which compare the IDs of the Bluetooth devices with any enabled Facebook profiles. Nodes have been set up in Bath, University College London, the University of California in San Diego, with more nodes to soon go online in Sweden, Hong Kong and Sydney.

"We are interested in understanding how cities work, how people move around. More recently we have been looking at how viruses spread in cities - biological and digital viruses."
The ambition for the Facebook tool is to have mobile phones alert each other when in the proximity of another Facebook user who shares common interests or common friends.

San Diego, Calif.—Ethertronics has developed a ceramic antenna product line called Savvi, which includes a Bluetooth-only version and one that combines GPS and Bluetooth capabilities.
Savvi products are designed to power a variety of multi-RF technology electronic devices. Ethertronics' Savvi miniature antennas employ its patented Isolated Magnetic Dipole (IMD) technology, whose high isolation characteristics make them immune to frequency shifts. The first Savvi product is a dual-band, dual-feed GPS and Bluetooth antenna for portable devices. A second Savvi antenna for Bluetooth-only reception in a 1.3-mm low-profile package is also available.

The antenna's compact size allows for designers to embed it into small portable devices, while dual-feed capabilities simplify RF design and integration. The dual-band ceramic antennas operate independently at the 1.575-GHz and 2.4-GHz frequency bands.
