Bluetooth(R) technology, the global standard for short range wireless communications, is 10-years-old this week. Though the Bluetooth technology was born over a decade ago, the first products didn’t appear commercially until the year 2000. In that short time, a span of eight years, about 1.5 billion Bluetooth enabled devices have been shipped, and the organization behind the technology, the Bluetooth Special Interest Group, has grown from a handful of companies to 10,000 members.

The Bluetooth technology has been most deployed in mobile phones, portable computers and audio electronics. It is hard imagining enjoying digital lifestyles nowadays without the use of Bluetooth. Transfers of photos, music and video clips between digital or mobile devices are now easy even to the non-technically inclined individuals. Thanks to Bluetooth.

Since Bluetooth eliminates the use of wires that easily entangled, I cannot see myself using a mobile phone that lacked Bluetooth. Connectivity between my phones and laptops are always done via Bluetooth either for transfer of files or synchronisation with Microsoft Outlook. If a phone lacked Bluetooth, forget it, I am not going for it.

I wish the Bluetooth technology can do much more though; like charging my mobile phone from my laptop using Bluetooth so that I don’t have to worry about a desktop-, USB- or car-charger. That will be a thrill. This seems like an El Dorado now, but then we are in the age of miracles. Any technological breakthrough can happen.

I want to believe that in the next few years, we will see more deployment of the Bluetooth technology in home electronics. It will soon become the standard, where every TV set and stereo equipment will have Bluetooth by default, just as it is currently happening with cell phones. By then, using the ability to pair Bluetooth devices, it is not difficult to imagine the limitless possibilities of what can be done with Bluetooth technology.

It has been long since I used a wrist watch, about five years ago since I started using a cell phone. Since that time, the desire to use a wrist watch disappeared. Why hung a chunk of metal and leather on your wrist for the purpose of checking time when your cell phone can do the same?

In an ongoing poll, it appears that nearly two-thirds of people prefer to check the current time on their cell phone rather than on a conventional wrist watch.

Whenever my friends asked me why I am not using a wrist watch, I will tell them that I am already surrounded by time devices. I carry at least two cell phones, an MP3 player which displays time, time in the dashboard of my car, time in my laptop, wall clocks in my office, living room and bedroom. Why do I need to spend money to read time on an extra device?

Other than fashion purpose, I see no need for a wrist watch. As I used to tell my friends, unless the wrist watch can perform a multiple functions of a wrist watch, a thermometer, stethoscope, wind vane, trek-o-meter, etc, (something like a James Bond’s type of wrist watch), then count me out.

Where do you stand? Are you reading time on your wrist watch or cell phone? Whatever your answer, the good news is that you can combine all available options. Ours is a world of convenience; Time devices are in everything and everywhere. Happy New and Prosperous Year to you all.

Read time on your wrist watch or cell phone

Nokia now offers a world of virtual pet-care so your pet is never left alone again. Creebies, available through the N-Gage mobile games service, gives each player their own 3D Creebi to care for, entertain, feed and even breed!

Supplied with a trailer and some virtual cash, you can customize your new friend and home with various accessories. Soon, the 3D pet will take on its own personality and appearance based on the attention it receives.

With care, the pet will grow and become more independent. However, make sure to keep an eye on its individual health meters, which will let you know when its hungry or feeling ill.

“Nokia Games Publishing has brought a quirky game to N-Gage that appeal to all ages,” said Dr Mark Ollila, Director of Technology and Strategy and Head of Games Publishing, Nokia. “With Creebies anyone can have the pleasure of owning a pet without the trouble of cleaning up the mess.”

Your Creebi can also interact with other Creebies via Bluetooth technology - for instance, they can play games together or even breed. Players can show off their newborns to others or send them to new homes through the Adoption Center in the N-Gage Arena.

Creebies is expected to be available in early 2008.
