It is Cool if it has Bluetooth
There is a saying in the tech community, that its cool if it has Bluetooth. Sounds silly, yes, but Bluetooth is such a powerful wireless connectivity function that cannot be done without. As compared to infrared technology, Bluetooth does not require a direct line of sight between two connected devices. The power consumption of Bluetooth is also significantly less than that of wireless LAN devices. Most importantly, Bluetooth technology allows for high speed large data transfers making it perfect for input controls.
A Bluetooth in Every Home
Most homes have Bluetooth technology, it is most commonly found in the form of headsets. This is because wired headsets are hard to use. Users are restricted in movement due to the wire connecting the headset with the broadcasting device. Bluetooth headsets will allow you to receive signals from your playing device without having to be limited to the range of your wire. Range is hardly a problem for Bluetooth technology. Bluetooth can reach from one end of a large room to another, allowing users to move with a lot freedom. Hands free technology became truly possible thanks to the power of Bluetooth.
Other Applications of Bluetooth
Aside from Bluetooth headsets for mobile phone, there are plenty of other devices that use Bluetooth technology. Of course, there are headsets that are used in gaming consoles and desktop computers, but that is the same technology as for the mobile phones. Other input devices such as wireless mouse and keyboards, as well as most wireless controllers, use Bluetooth technology to synchronize devices to a controller.
Wireless Console Gaming
As of today, the three most powerful gaming systems, the Sony PlayStation 3, the Microsoft X-Box 360 and the Nintendo Wii all use wireless controllers that use Bluetooth technology. Bluetooth is so fast at 24Mbps, it can recognize a controller input and send it to the console without any delay at all.
