Japan have today announced one CF Type I Bluetooth card and two other
Bluetooth modules which could be used internally within a device. This
extends the hope that we'll soon see the widespread use of Bluetooth wireless
communication in digital devices such as digital cameras, PDA's, communications
and input devices. (Thanks to digitalcamera.gr.jp for the lead on this
story).
