Cord has dabbled with Bluetooth, offering a cordless DAC for Audiophiles, using Bluetooth.

Existing Bluetooth has speed limitations. Apparently a new, Bluetooth-3 standard is to be launched on 21st April.

Bluetooth 3 to launch 21 April

Churned out on April 12th, 2009

Bluetooth 3 is on schedule to be launched by April 21st and promises to be a fantastic improvement.

Bluetooth 3.0 will bring with it dramatically-improved file transfer speeds by using 802.11 technology (not technically WiFi, which is a certified version of 802.11 standards) that will enable the transfer of much larger files. The previous spec was fine for the transfer of more bite-sized data, like contact info or calendar items, but as mobile devices evolve to become our entertainment centers on-the-go, a speed improvement will certainly be helpful for transferring things like video and music collections.

Once the new standard is announced by the Bluetooth SIG, it likely won’t be long before we see devices with Bluetooth 3.0 built-in. Of course, when you have battery-sucking phones like the iPhone that need to be plugged in and synced every day already, there seems like less of a need for such high-speed file transfers, but everyone else using Bluetooth to sync files will no doubt be happy with the improvements.

Lots more stuff on Bluetooth-3 if you Google...
