The smartphone is set to become the central piece in a
puzzle that will support our newly forming digital lifestyle as functionality
is built in to make it a key component in Personal Area Networks.
Leading wireless semiconductor makers, Broadcom, developed
the Bluetooth functionality being used in the Motorola Q smartphone. The
silicon and software built into a Windows Mobile 5.0 device turns it into a hub
for connecting all the devices you use in your pocket or on your desk.
The advanced wireless functionality integrated into Motorola's
Moto Q Smartphone allow it to replace the personal computer as the centre of
your digital life, replacing the PC in many instances.
Broadcom says the Bluetooth chip and software enables
several new features to significantly increase the PC capabilities of the
smartphone.
The phone can be used to stream stereo music to wireless
headsets, or to wirelessly send a photo directly to a printer, or a
presentation to a projector.
Using the phone in conjunction with a PC also alters the
relationship. You can use it like a remote control for a PowerPoint presentation
or other AV function or the phone can be operated as a peripheral input device.
"Motorola's new Q phone offers the most advanced
functionality available on a Microsoft-based smartphone which, combined with a
cutting-edge design, makes it one of the most unique phones on the
market," said Scott Bibaud, Vice President and General Manager of
Broadcom's Wireless Personal Area Networking Line of Business.
"This is only the beginning as our partners continue to
launch new products that take full advantage of our advanced Bluetooth software,
providing features and functionality that no other Bluetooth provider can
match."
As more device manufacturers adopt Bluetooth as a connectivity
option, the opportunity for personal wireless applications such as audio and
video streaming, file transfer, synchronization, connection with wireless peripherals
and remote control, will become more widespread says Broadcom.
