Comments on: Palm Misses Their Bluetooth Deadline

Palm has hitched their wagon to the Bluetooth star but they missed their own deadline to build Bluetooth into OS 4. Sometime after the release of OS 4 there will be an update to the OS to add full Bluetooth support.

There won't be any Palm handhelds with built-in Bluetooth hardware for a while, either. After the software support is ready, Palm intends to release a sled with its own processor, an RF module, and serial chipset that draws power from the Palm. This should be available in early 2002. Don't expect to see a Palm with built-in Bluetooth hardware until later in 2002.

Does anyone have any idea of when OS 4 will be released?

At a luncheon on Tuesday, Palm CEO Carl Yankowski said OS 4 will ship this spring, to be followed by the Bluetooth add-on in the summer.
