The world is getting smaller! At least the Networking hardware world is... Toshiba just announced a new Bluetooth SDIO card that can be used in a PDA's SD slot to enable 10 meters of networking bliss with other Bluetooth enabled devices.
Hey, anyone hear of any other SD hardware (cameras, 802.11b cards, GPS, etc) plans in the works? I'd really be interested in finding out more...
"Key Points
BluetoothTM SDIO card supports wireless data exchanges between mobile phones and a PC with a built-in BluetoothTM module- or inserted BluetoothTM PC card, up to a maximum distance of approximately 10 meters.
Power consumption during transmission is 50% less than that of the first-generation product; the new card is also 9mm shorter and flat.
By integrating BluetoothTM profiles and protocols such as SDP, RFCOMM and L2CAP in an SDIO card, digital consumer products can easily be BluetoothTM-enabled.
New BluetoothTM SDIO card will fully conform with the SDIO Card Type-B specification for BluetoothTM, while it already meets the SDIO SpecVer.1.0 and BluetoothTM Ver.1.1. Use of the Bluetooth logo has been authorized by its qualification organization.
Radio type approval by regulatory authorities in over 20 countries and regions, including Japan, the U.S., Europe and Asia, is expected to support global promotion. "
