Bluetooth Now Poised To Fulfill Its Promise
No question about it, Bluetooth is very handy thanks to its improved integration with computers, cell phones and automobiles.When Bluetooth first appeared about five years ago, the hype far outstripped its usefulness. The ability to eliminate the tangles of cords and cables was very alluring. Unfortunately, cost and complexity almost brought the technology to its knees. Now its back, alive and well, fulfilling its promise as a useful tool in a variety of settings.Europe was its early adopter and it is standard on nearly all European cell phones. They have adopted Bluetooth enabled phones, laptops, wireless keyboards, mice and more.Sexy Headsets:Cingular and T-Mobile wireless carriers use the same technology as their European counterparts and thus offer Bluetooth enabled devices for their customers.
Bluetooth is rarer from Sprint and Verizon Communications which are based on North American technologies.One major boost for adoption of Bluetooth enabled mobile phones will come from State and local governments. Many new laws and ordinances have been adopted or are in various stages of implementation that will levy fines for driving and using a hand held cell phone. The push for hands-free calling will move Bluetooth forward in the marketplace.Acura TL now offers Bluetooth integrated into the automobile allowing the driver to use the cars stereo system as a speakerphone and displays information on the dashboard. Bluetooth car kits are now available from Motorola, Nokia, Parrot and others for about $100. Early teething problems included high cost and poor battery life and made it unattractive for handsets.
But now Logitech's Mobile Bluetooth handset can be had for about $50. The $140 Jabra BT800, which lets you control many cell-phone functions on the headset, offers six hours of talk time and five days of standby. After that, you can recharge by running a USB cable from the headset into a laptop so you don't need to take a charger with you. A headset on the way from Plantronics will come with adapters that allow charging from most phone adapters or from an AA battery. Bluetooth Linking:Beyond mobile phones, Bluetooth is beginning to make inroads into other aspects of wireless communication.
Although Windows support is somewhat primitive by current standards, the technology is standard on Apple Macintoshes and optional on other products. Apple uses the latest, faster version of Bluetooth. If Mac detects a Bluetooth enabled keyboard and mouse during startup, it will link to them automatically.PalmOne is also a big supporter of Bluetooth. PalmOne's software overcomes most of the Windows difficulties and allows their handheld devices to sync and swap files with a Windows laptop over Bluetooth. Making sync work with a new Mac PowerBook is even easier.
As for Microsoft's primitive Bluetooth world, it is possible to get a Pocket PC to sync with Windows over Bluetooth, but is only for the technically savvy. Bluetooth Worth Waiting For:Bluetooth still falls short. Early promoters envisioned that you would be able to walk up to a printer with your laptop of PDA, click a button, and print. We're still waiting for that one. Bluetooth printers are rare but we can assume that the advent of Bluetooth enabled digital camera phones will spur this technology further and make for easy printing of those treasured moments.The technology savvy users are an impatient lot.
If it doesn't catch on right away they move on to something newer and different. If anything, Bluetooth has proven that acceptance can take a while. But isn't it worth the wait?We technology watchers are an impatient lot who tend to give up on anything that doesn't catch on right away. Bluetooth has proved once again that acceptance can take a long time -- and that sometimes it's worth the wait..

Why Should You Switch To VoIP?
By now, you've probably heard about the new technology called VoIP, or Voice Over IP. VoIP is a replacement for a standard telephone and phone line. It uses your high-speed internet connection instead of regular phone lines. Millions of people all over the world are embracing this new technology. Should you?
Let's take a look at the benefits and features.
After all, you should make an educated decision and not just an instant decision. So why is VoIP so great?
- Price. VoIP's price, most of the time, will beat standard phone rates. Companies usually offer free long distance and foreign calling ? so you could call someone on the other side of the world for the same price as a friend down the street. On the other hand, price would not be a huge advantage if you pay per minute with a standard phone and make only 2 short calls a month!
- Computer compatibility.
You can use your computer as your phone instead of using a regular-style...

Choosing The Right Phone and Voice Mail System
Phone and voice mail systems can be pretty costly, even for companies with a low number phones.
Before investing in any type of phone system or voice mail system, you need to estimate how much your company is likely to expand over the next few years and if possible how many phones you may require.
Failure to do this could cost you or your company a lot of money in upgrade and restructuring costs further down the road.
It is better and cheaper to plan and allow for expansion at an early stage, than wait until it is too late. If you plan to remain under ten phones then I would recommend you invest in a KSU-less phone system.
Basically these look like normal phones that carry all the technology and software needed to run a small phone system of up to four lines and eight to twelve extensions.
These systems incorporate many of the features that full PBX phone systems offer (though not voice mail).
So be sure to check with your supplier...
