Good, Bluetooth is far too slow in this day and age.
I can't remember the last time I used bluetooth - it was always just to fiddly.
Oh and the Hexus team might want to remove the last line in the article.
I found that the time it would take to get two devices paired and then happily talking together before you could start transferring say a jpg from one to the other was far greater than the time it took to email the file, so that's what I tend to do. I can't even remember the last time I activated my Bluetooth.
I use bluetooth in the car for hands-free and occasionally music streaming to the car stereo, but it's just hopeless for transferring files. This definitely comes as welcome news!
Now we're talinkg. Yeah! Bluetooth was never good for other than streaming low bitrate data. File transfers were just unrealistic.
cameronlite, thanks for the alert!
bluetooth works fine on my end , music streaming from my phone to my A/V receiver works without faults. However i agreee that anything more is terrible i.e file transfer, be nice to have something super fast :).
It will be nice, for wireless storage back up... This will kick Apple time machine back off...
About time there was a replacement, Bluetooth is getting long in the tooth. I only use Bluetooth in my car. If I have to do any wireless transferring then if possible I use WiFi. What with the advances in WiFi (802.11ac available sometime in 2012) it's nice to see this.
As long as it's not as fiddly to setup as Bluetooth I'd be very happy to use it. Bluetooth's best days are definitely behind it.
Not to mention that Sony receives license fees for every BT enabled device out there. I hope this new tech succeeds where zigbee failed but I doubt that will happen any time soonQuote:

Not even the desktop computers with fastest HD's (SSD's excluded for obvious reasons) can match it , let alone the feeble phone or tablet.
And this is not going to change anytime soon ...
But then again - you could use that speed to send say video & audio data from one device to another, Cheap Wireless HDMI anyone?Quote:
