Trouble deciding between Bluetooth and WiFi for your home networking needs? According to mobilemag, Philips Semiconductor can't decide either. Instead, they have chosen to go with both technologies by Designing a Dual Wi-Fi Bluetooth Chip. The chip would serve to replace the two modules currently available in Pocket PCs that employ both connection protocols and might lead to smaller devices. "Philips Semiconductor announced an integrated single-package Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chip for smart phones and portable devices that include hardware and software for a four-wire interface that will allow both radios to coexist when co-located.
"We have a vision of a connected planet and a connected consumer and the mobility of those consumers is manifest in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi," said Paul Marino, vice president and general manager of connectivity at Philips Semiconductor. "But as you move to mobile devices from the desktop, you need low power, small size and coexistence," he said."
