Category: Worse non-event of the year 2003
Every year has its load of vaporware and highly hyped technological promises that hardly happen. What was this year's most to-be-ashemed-off non-event? It's yours to judge.
And the nominees are...
Bluetooth
|
|
Bluetooth has been hyped for years now as a low cost way to link portable devices between each other. But cell phone manufacturers obstinately don't add it to most of their new handsets. Is it catching up or not?
|
High speed wireless data
|
|
Most new phones include 1xRTT and other "high speed" technologies and the major cell phone companies now sell PC Card connection cards, but is the speed as high as promised? I doubt. How about you?
|
Location-based services
|
|
Here is another long-hyped technology, which was supposed to determine your position using GPS and send you special offers as you walked near a store or provide tourist information based on your location. Special 911 location services have been developped but how about the commercial offerings?
