Officially official.  I’m starting to dig that little phrase, so I think I might use it again, maybe once more, but that’s all.  So what’s officially official (last time, see) is the fact that Bluetooth 2.1 is in, Bluetooth 2.0 on its way out.

According to the article over at WinBeta, there are quite a bit of good things that are going to ride the crest of the Bluetooth 2.1 wave:  “The update to the 2.0 spec promises to implement a technique known as Sniff Subrating to improve battery life by as much as five times in hardware that needs a steady stream of data; keyboards, mice, and watches are just a few of the examples, the SIG says. Updating to 2.1 should also greatly simplify the pairing process by having a host device automatically pair with devices by looking for certain device classes (such as headsets) rather than requiring special actions on both ends.”

Anytime something simple gets even simpler, it’s a good thing folks.  Just think, soon, MoGo and all our happy little products will be even simpler (is that possible?) to pair with the device of your choosing.  Nifty aye?  The great news is, reports are streaming in that suggest that the switch from 2.0 to 2.1 might not be all that tricky and might not require any significant chipset changes.

That, I like to hear.  At any rate, read up on the news, see what you think, then come back here and sound-off with any questions, tips, wonderings or just simple statements of fact.  We love hearing what’s roaming your dome.
