Bluetooh wireless technology was supposed to replace all those computer and mouse cables by now. Like most projects designed by committee, this thing's taking awhile to get out of the lab. These sites give the latest on the late-to-market technology.

www.bluetooth.com What better place to start then the "official Bluetooth Web site?" It offers primers on how the short-range wireless technology works, product announcements, news and conference information.

www.ericsson.com/bluetooth Although Ericsson is getting out of the football-stadium naming business, the Swedish phone giant is still at the top of the heap when it comes to pushing Bluetooth. It even reminds visitors that "Bluetooth was our idea". The site is heavy on "proven solutions" and other jargon-rich terms, but short on product displays.

www.motorola.com/bluetooth Motorola is a long-time backer of Bluetooth, but its Web presence on the subject lacks the bluster of Ericsson's page. The site talks a lot about Motorola's "platform and development" kits, but skimps on the gee whiz pictures and info on consumer products casual visitors would be interested in. Indeed, this is another developers only club.

www.apple.com/bluetooth Wouldn't you know it? Apple actually has Bluetooth product information you can use today, with details on how to buy Bluetooth computer and peripheral adapters and how to use them right on the page. With Bluetooh technology for Mac OS X, you can link your Palm OS-based handheld device, Bluetooth-enabled cell phone and peripherals with your Power Book G4, iBook, Power Mac G4 or iMac.

geek.com [Note: This link is a "top 50" search of keyword:"bluetooth" on geek.com] The boys and girls and Geek.com are busy bashing Bluetooh. This discussion section is a place to read what real people have to say about a heretofore phantom technology. Example: "kinda like the lochness monster. everyone talks about it, but few people actually see it."
