It replaces proprietary cables, providing seamless voice and data transmission via wireless, short-range radio. Read the rest of the press release here.

i tell you what - if "they" can combine the two technologies - for an affordable amount, then they will blow the pants off of CE devices!!!

It would only be beneficial if bluetooth takes off, in which case I don't think it would take the evil empire long to license the technology for themselves. Yeah, they'd be a year or two behind, but what else is new? Right now if I had a bluetooth enabled palm, it would be pretty worthless for practical applications, although it would be a fun toy.
