The consortium behind Bluetooth said the next version of its wireless standard is expected to transfer data up to 10 times faster than the current versions using onboard Wi-Fi chips.
The Bluetooth Special Interest Group said Bluetooth 3.0 borrows a Wi-Fi chip in the same gadget when making large file transfers. If the Wi-Fi chip isn't needed, Bluetooth turns it off to save power.While Bluetooth 3.0 is 10 times faster than current Bluetooth, it's about 20 times slower than a USB cable. A combination of Bluetooth and ultra-wideband was announced in 2006, but delays in getting it to work prompted the group to look at Wi-Fi. The Bluetooth group said gadgets could be on the market by summer 2009.
