What is the future of Bluetooth?
Most predictions point to a slow rollout of Bluetooth products during 2001 and a significant pickup thereafter. Cahners In-Stat sees a global market for Bluetooth chips of $400m in 2001, implying that at least 20m Bluetooth-enabled devices will find buyers. It is predicted that 1.4 billion Bluetooth-enabled devices will be shipping annually by 2005. Those numbers are comparable to the predictions of the International Data Corporation.
