Bluetooth and You: Handy BT Options
By: Shayne Rana  &  Laiq Qureshi   |   Mar 29,2008

Bluetooth (BT) is truly a godsend when it comes to mobile connectivity – or connectivity in general, as it’s no longer restricted to the mobile domain. From sending photos, music and other media to listening to music wirelessly, it’s all good. The medium has its own ecosystem, with developers and manufacturers coming up with innovations for it all the time. Here are some ways in which Bluetooth can prove handy.

All-Purpose BT Headsets
Bluetooth headsets offer wirefree convenience. Most higher-end mobiles support Bluetooth with A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile, an extension required to transmit data). Handsets that support A2DP are primarily directed at music lovers. Companies like Genius, I.Tech (BlueBand, BluePro) and even Motorola (with its funky O-ROKR glares and S9) have developed BT products. Don’t get the idea that these headsets are designed primarily for music; you can use them for answering calls as well.

Strictly One-Way
There are plenty of these in the market – just pair one with your phone and you're good to go. It's like your handsfree headset, only without wires. Of course, you can listen to songs too, but the quality will suck because they're designed specifically for conversations. Jabra and almost all mobile manufacturers make them. However, just so you know, a Nokia Bluetooth headset can work perfectly fine with any other mobile handset from any company.

Printing

Can you believe they’ve put Bluetooth even in printers? If your mobile phone has a camera and you need to take a printout, no longer would you need to dock the phone with the printer or user USB or other cabling. All you need to do is pair your mobile with the printer, and presto! Print, print, print. You will need a Bluetooth printing adapter if your printer doesn't support BT printing.

Portable Media
Companies like Samsung have even taken PMPs and DAPs a step further, with BT-enabled players like YP-T10 and YP-S5. Players like these allow you to transfer files between BT-enabled devices like mobile phones or even your PC and, naturally, A2DP-compatible headsets. The YP-T10 also allows you to take a call from your mobile phone as long as it’s paired with the player. Now isn't that cool!
