I just loved that first paragraph
I remember back in the early days hearing the wonder that Bluetooth was supposed to bring, and though it is capable of delivering on many of those, it all just never really happened. oh well.
Got a tip for us?

Just like WAP.
Though that being said, a number of bars in Soho supported you being able to order your drinks over WAP prior to ones arrival.
Oh god, WAP, what a disaster that was. Closely followed or possibly even surpassed by video calling
What were some of the things that bluetooth was supposed to bring, but didn't, edesignuk? I honestly don't know.
Bluetooth is just bad. It lets people use a mouse and keyboard wirelessly. Amazing! It's also like a billion times more power-hungry than an IR mouse.
The only time I use bluetooth is when I sync with my phone, since I don't like to use the cable, and I never even bothered trying to use IR on a Mac (is there a way?) because I wanted to feel like I was a young, modern guy and used Bluetooth instead. Now I just don't see a difference, or care, as long as it works.

Think I only use bluetooth for my Apple Keyboard and Mouse.
I remember reading about it ages ago in T3 magazine or EDGE or something and how it would revolutionise things from ordering diet coke from a vending machine to linking cars on a motorway. Not too far a cry from my keyboard and mouse I suppose...
What happened to wireless USB?

i had hope for it, but really it is a failing technology. shame really since it had so much promise at the beginning.
I must say that title of this post really made me laugh a loud.. Well, jokes apart.. It really sounds great that bluetooth has completed ten years from it's launching date. I do use wireless mouse & keyboard. It really made my work easy & relaxing.
