 Many people forecast the Bluetooth market to be huge with suggestions of half a billion Bluetooth-enabled devices by 2004 and a total market for Bluetooth components worth $2 billion in the same year.

Although in essence Bluetooth just removes one's dependency on wires, its strength is in its apparent simplicity with connectivity between multiple different devices becoming simple, seamless, and intuitive. However, to deliver such apparent simplicity and transparency to the user requires an appreciable degree of complexity.

In this book, we explain the Bluetooth specification from top to bottom, examining the implementation options and the market opportunities. We put the specification into context with other related standards and protocols and attempt to uncover the truth behind these bold claims and explain the hype surrounding one of the most talked about technologies of the decade. This book will appeal to everyone from business decision makers and marketers to component and systems design engineers. Such a complete and encompassing technology demands a complete and uncompromising analysis.
