Apple Releases Bluetooth (preview) does it work?
No this isn’t an April Fools gag. Apple today released its Bluetooth technology preview. This new driver only for Mac OS X will allow users with Bluetooth adapters to connect to compatible devices without wires.
Unfortunately I don’t have a Bluetooth adapter on hand, or even another Bluetooth device, but it is still an exciting release. Apple promised a release in April and it has kept this promise, and was very prompt with the release.
There has been some criticism regarding Bluetooth conflicting with Airport due to them both sharing the 2.4GHz frequency. I have been unable to confirm this. Apple promotes Bluetooth as being Airport for peripherals thus it seems that Apple doesn’t expect any problems. If anyone can shed some light on this situation, please send an email so that I can pass it on to other readers.
