Bluetooth is becoming common in more and more products. The reason for it’s popularity is because it allows the consumer to set up a VPN or Virtual Private Network. Using this VPN they can transfer data and files such as multimedia to all bluetooth enabled devices.

 Mobile phones, PC’s, laptops, even car stereo have integrated bluetooth connectivity. I was truely amazed when I saw the bluetooth enabled car stereos. You can transfer music from your phone to your stereo or you can use it as a handsfree car kit.

Although bluetooth has become very popular it also has it’s downfalls. Different products have different transfer protocols. For instance transferring a file from a nokia mobile phone to a motorola mobile phone would take longer than if it was transferred between two nokias. It also has a short distance of 10 metres before the connection is broken. This means when transferring anything between devices you still need to stay within a fairly close proximity.
