I’m not sure I’ve understood this properly, but the latest Bluetooth announcement deals with the issue of sending large files from one device to the other. While it seems like a temporary solution — until Bluetooth 3.0 specification is finished and widely adopted in a range of devices — it does sound kinda neat when you think about it. Basically, with some firmware update we should be able to exchange files much faster using the devices we have today.
According to Bluetooth SIG, this innovative method of radio substitution will allow the well known Bluetooth protocols, profiles, security and pairing to be used in consumer devices while achieving faster throughput with momentary use of a secondary radio already present in the device — that’s in case your phone does also sport a WiFi radio.
The core specification enabling the Alternate MAC/PHY is expected to be published to members in mid-2009, and in the meantime, Bluetooth 2.1 combined with the good ol’ USB cable will still to do the job.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
