Getting To Know Bluetooth 2.0

Until about a year ago, we all used the first version of Bluetooth technology. It was called Bluetooth 1.1, before it developed into Bluetooth 1.2. The only difference between the two versions was data transfer rate, with Bluetooth 1.2 being faster than the first one. Bluetooth 1.2 also utilizes HCI (Host Controller Interface) and is completely compatible with the previous version. Recently, a new version of Bluetooth, called Bluetooth 2.0, was introduced. There are a lot of new features available on the latest version of Bluetooth technology, taking Bluetooth usage to a whole new level.

Bluetooth 2.0 is of course faster than the previous two versions; it is stated to be three time faster than the older Bluetooth versions. With EDR (Enhanced Data Rate), you can transfer music, pictures, videos, and files to any Bluetooth enabled devices faster. Ever wonder how you can connect stereo headsets and listen to music wirelessly? That would be the work of A2DP profile available on several enhanced Bluetooth 2.0 devices. No more wires - you can put your music player on your table and still be able to hear your music as long as you are within a 10-metre radius. Now that you know about Bluetooth 2.0, I bet you will start looking for Bluetooth 2.0 enabled devices so you can enjoy the advantages for yourself, right?
