On the streets of Stockholm with LTE Top
Source: Computerworld A test of TeliaSonera's LTE (Long Term Evolution) network and its new multimode modem shows the next-generation mobile technology at its best -- delivering speeds at up 59.1M bps (bits per second) -- when used at 2.6GHz. But it also reveals how the technology sometimes struggles when used indoors.

Bluetooth Stagnation? Top
Any idea what is happening with Bluetooth out there these days? The Bluetooth SIG keeps including ever more features in the Bluetooth specification, now at version 4.0 with Ultra Low Power enhancements. However, there are few if any products on the market these days that even only implement the security enhancements introduced back in 2007 with version 2.1 of the specification!? Nokia and Samsung seem to include Bluetooth 3.0 in the feature set of their latest phones but they don't go into the details of what that actually measns!? Is it the Wi-Fi transport layer for fast Bluetooth transmissions that was introduced with version 3.0 or just some minor improvements over the 2.1 standard? Bluetooth is used a lot today for wireless headphones, wireless keyboards, etc. but I don't see it in new applications, at least not when it comes to mass market adoption. So I wonder if the technology has reached a plateau from which it is going to be difficult to escape? As always, your thoughts are welcome.
