Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
He added that the Bluetooth SIG was also working towards adopting its technology to more power-limited devices. "To enable ultra low power applications in a Bluetooth system, the Bluetooth SIG is taking the same approach we did with the high-speed channel. We are evaluating existing and new technology in the industry as well as significant enhancements on the Bluetooth technology roadmap. As this evaluation continues there is the potential for additional partnerships to enable the ultra low power applications."
So why has Nokia not backed and worked with the Bluetooth SIG to achieve the goals of Wibree? We could end up with consumers being confused between Wibree and 'babytooth' compatible toy, watches and goodness knows what else. Or, worse still, an evolved Wibree competing in and confusing the current market for Bluetooth devices.
Wibree might be being touted now as focussed on ultra low power applications, but who's to say Nokia will stop there?
