In 1999, Apple launched Airport and the iBook and established the 802.11 wireless standard of networking. In 2003, AirPort Extreme was launched and this had the 802.11g wireless high speed technology.
Today, Apple still maintains this dominant position with the reputation of being the foremost in innovative technology thanks to Bluetooth wireless technology in its products.
It is three times as fast as the earlier versions and data transfers are up to a maximum of 3 MBps – that’s what the new Bluetooth technology 2.0+EDR offers in the new Apple Powerbook G4.
Apple really has taken advantage of what Bluetooth has to offer and it is the first company to have certified this technology. As expected of it, Apple stays ahead of the pack when it comes to incorporating new techmology.
Apple has more Bluetooth enabled computers as well and these include the iMac G5, iBook, eMac and Power Mac G5. The great thing is how much easier Apple has made life for you by incorporating Bluetooth technology. What it does to your Mac is to make it so easy for you to do file transfers and synchronization.
Just go to the selection menu in Bluetooth and you’ll see how easy and fast it is to transfer files or to browse devices. You could also go to iSync and click on the button to update your Palm OS handheld or your cell phone.
A GSM/GPRS cell phone and the Mac together are a great team when you have Bluetooth. iSync helps you to keep your devices up to date without having to do anything and all your addresses can stay in the Mac in its address book which is so much more manageable.
Your Mac can select a printer and print digital images and documents in a jiffy and you can also use your Bluetooth headset when you are on a chat session.
Your Palm OS handhelds too can hook up very easily with your Mac and you can have HotSync connectivity with no cables. This technology lets you send your calendar events and business card to another handheld directly and quickly.
