    Comments on: Studies Predict Slow Growth for Bluetooth, eBooksDaedalus Venture Group has released a study that says that venture capitalists are over-investing in Bluetooth chip technology, while not investing enough in the applications that will create a demand for those chips. They are predicting a glut of Bluetooth chips in coming years. According to DVG, 74% of VC money for Bluetooth went to semiconductor firms, while only 23% was invested in applications. "Irresponsible supply-side projections showing tremendous growth in the number of Bluetooth-enabled devices are driving manufacturer demand for chips," the study said. "However, there is still no widespread demonstrated market demand for the technology at an application level."

I use ebooks on my Palm IIIc. I think that the price has to come down to make me BUY many of them. I think that the standalone ebook readers will have some life in the future. How and to what degree, we'll just have to wait and see.

On the other hand, standalone EBook players get a definite thumbs down. Why would I want yet another box to carry? My Palm already carries novels for when I have some time to kill.
