Bluetooth 2.2 to be launced in 2009

An upgraded version of the bluetooth is to be introduced in 2009. This was announced by the Bluetooth standard body called "Bluetooth Special Interest Group", which plans to introduce two new Bluetooth standards called 10x and 100x by the middle of 09.This new version of bluetooth will be just called Bluetooth 2.2 which promises in tremendous increase in the data transfer speed. The new high-speed Bluetooth standards, will work in conjunctions with WLAN or USB to offer vastly improved speeds.

Given the fact that current Bluetooth 2.0 maxes out at 3 MB, a 10x jump will translate to a theoretical maximum of 30 MB and 100x would mean a speed of 300 MB. This is really a huge jump and it will be interesting to watch which standard can make the transition first. Given the fact that most handsets now have Wi-fi, the 10x standard will probably find more widescreen acceptance with 100x BT being relegated to notebooks and desktop use.
[UPDATED NEWS] (updated on 14-12-2009)
It was just few days ago that word was out about the next Bluetooth upgrade to be released in the market in 2009 as Bluetooth 2.2. However, according to the current reports from the Bluetooth Special Interest Group, its not accurate anymore. The next version will probably be bluetooth 3.0.
