Bluetooth
Another product that Bluetooth has enhanced is the automotive industry. Bluetooth hands free calling is now included as standard equipment on new cars and trucks. 12 major car manufacturers offer Bluetooth calling systems in their vehicles. Since there are new driving laws prohibiting the use of cell phones while driving, many people look for hands free calling systems while shopping for a new car. There are Bluetooth speakerphones that clip to a car’s visor, or a Bluetooth headset. Bluetooth enables car receivers and audio systems allow people to wirelessly connect their Bluetooth enables phone or iPod to their car’s audio system. Wireless music and hands free calling are the biggest areas for Bluetooth technology in vehicles, but there are more areas offered to Bluetooth customers. Smart phones have the ability to run apps on flat-panel displays in their car. These apps can help them navigate, check traffic, view weather, and many other things. Toyota and Hyundai offer Bluetooth enabled systems for smart phone apps in their cars. In total there are 10-15 different ways to use Bluetooth technology in the car. Some of these ways are hands free calling, music streaming, navigation, and car diagnostics.

Bluetooth
Bluetooth technology is considered the most successful short range wireless technology. Bluetooth devices includes: phones, tablets, TV’s and PC’s. These devices can talk to each other and communicate with other Bluetooth enabled appliances.
Bluetooth has enhanced many different products that people use every day. One product that Bluetooth has helped create is a smart home market. Smart home devices help homeowners use less energy and save money. Two-way communication allows smart meters to send information to homeowners about energy consumption. Homeowners now have the ability to use their Bluetooth phone, tablet, or PC to adjust their heat and air conditioning. They can do this from their homes or away from their homes. Bluetooth hub devices help homeowners control their energy use by scheduling high powered appliances to use electricity when prices are the lowest. Other home appliances can be controlled by phones, tablets, PC’s, or TV’s like lights, temperature window and door locks, security systems, and other household appliances.

I really liked your comments on Bluetooth technology. Bluetooth is an extremely flexible technology, and the applications found for it will be interesting to see where they go next. One of the topics you commented on was how Tablets such as IPads, and other smart phones where being used to control Bluetooth enabled devices. I think we will see a lot more Bluetooth technology shift towards these devices, because they are popular, easy to use, and generally safe. Being able to control all function’s of your house from your seat I think is a revolutionary idea, and will be good for elderly people who cant be moving as much. In your post you also talked about Bluetooth use for cars. I have connected my phone to my car stereo through Bluetooth, and its incredibly easy way to talk on the phone while driving. One function that is particularly handy is the voice commands. I can tell my phone to call anyone in my contacts list and it recognizes my voice through a voice recognition program. The big thing I learned about from your post was how Bluetooth can show me my cars diagnostics. I think this will be a really big application for Bluetooth, because surprisingly not many people know when they need to get an oil change or when they need to do proper maintenance on the car the car to keep in working correctly. Overall good article I learned a lot about Bluetooth
As stated in my blog post, Bluetooth is a wireless-communication system that is "Simple, Secure, and Everywhere." In fact, I believe these three factors have led Bluetooth to become the most innovative technology on the market today.
Bluetooth technology first gained prominence with the development of the hands-free calling system, which was specifically designed for automobiles. Aside from promoting safe driving and preventing thousands (or possibly millions) of accidents, this system "paved the way" for Bluetooth's technological advancements. As I was browsing Bluetooth's website, I came upon a number of highly innovative products that I hadn't known were on the market.
I was particularly impressed with Bluetooth's medical and health devices. In my blog post I mentioned the 3M Littmann Electronic Stethoscope. This device allows doctors to listen to your heart without having to physically record your information--the stethoscope literally does it for you and sends it to a PC, laptop, or mobile phone. There are also glucose monitors enhanced with Bluetooth technology, where your glucose levels can be sent directly to your mobile phone or PC.
In addition, I would like to comment on Bluetooth's "Smart Home" technology. As you mentioned, new Bluetooth-enhanced wireless devices allow you to control lights, temperature, household appliances, window and door locks, security systems and more. Such devices also have the ability to send real-time energy consumption data directly to you. Aside from being highly innovative, this technology is also user-conscious, which is important in a day and age where we cannot afford to waste money. In addition, this "smart energy" technology is an excellent marketing technique, as its user-consciousness will surely generate sales.
