Bluetooth Resources

In spite of its rather tumultuous beginnings, Bluetooth has emerged as a significant technology for short range connectivity. Now that the Holy Grail of a true System in Package (SIP) Bluetooth module is available, product designers no longer need to have RF expertise on-hand to successfully integrate Bluetooth into headsets, printers, PDAs, keyboards, mice, security systems, and a plethora of other applications.

Way back in the late 1990s, when Bluetooth first arrived in concept, a target price of $3 was proposed as the level at which adoption would be ubiquitous. We are finally there and indeed, Bluetooth technology is popping up all over the map. Even kids' toys are incorporating Bluetooth ICs. Here are some Bluetooth resources to assist you in your own endeavors.
