There are certain buzzwords that seem to be in-vogue right now, one of those words happens to be Bluetooth. Chances are that you've come across it either in the press, or whilst perusing sites online.
I'm going to quote the official line on Bluetooth, so here goes. The Bluetooth concept is a cable replacement technology that simplifies person-to-person and machine-to-machine interaction. It utilizes short-distance radio link technology to enable the wireless connection of mobile terminals such as desktops, laptops, printer, PDAs and mobile phones can exchange data or voice with one another. Furthermore, Bluetooth operates at a frequency lying between 2,402GHz and 2,480GHz, the ISM (Industry, Scientific, Medical) band that is meanwhile free and unlicensed throughout the world.
Bluetooth was developed jointly by Ericsson, Nokia, IBM, Toshiba and Intel. Ericsson contributed the basic radio technology expertise; Toshiba and IBM are developing a common specification for integrating "Bluetooth" technology into mobile devices. Intel are contributing their advanced chip and software expertise and Nokia contributes expertise in radio technology and mobile handset software.
