Happy birthday Bluetooth! While the idea of Bluetooth technology was born over a decade ago, the first products didn’t appear commercially until the year 2000. In that short time — a span of eight years — 1.5 billion Bluetooth enabled devices have been shipped, and the organization behind the technology, the Bluetooth Special Interest Group, has grown from a handful of companies to 10,000 members. FYI… Bluetooth wireless technology is the global short-range wireless standard for personal connectivity of a broad range of electronic devices. See more here about BlueTooth technology
