"Herbert, Herbert!"
Let's take an example of the big damn mess we're in.
How many computing and input devices do you have? Then ask yourself how many of these actually connect to each other.
"We Reach"
All right... it's a big mess. So, how do we clean up this big mess with Bluetooth?
We start with the largest bases of users:
- computer
- home remote control
- PDA: Palm & PocketPC
Then we add some handy connectivity protocols:
- digital cell phone
- home wireless radio
- infrared
- 802.11b
- Bluetooth
Then we add some hardware systems:
- new conventional routing & mixing systems
- new integrated databases of personal assets
- new bluetooth to IR to bluetooth satellite receiver/transmitters
Then we add databases, upcoming software, and some protocols:
- MUZE
- online management and personalization
- synchronization
- small footprint databases
- across-platforms functionality
- rights management software
- XML/SOAP
Put all these things together and what does your "vision" become? |
