I was first introduced to Bluetooth technology in either 1997 or 1998. It seemed like a pretty reasonable idea and the advocate presenting the technology was fervent in his belief that this technology would be the next big thing.
We're now mid way through 2006 - pushing towards a decade later - and where is Bluetooth today? It remains an under used nebulous technology that refuses to gain a critical mass of acceptance - despite its prevalence in most modern mobile phones of today. I think there are a few explanations for this disappointing result of a promising technology.
