Bluetooth is an innovative new wireless technology introduced some years ago-and has been with us for some time now- it was
intended to replace the messy business of wires and cable’s that
connect
electronic devices. In short it is a wireless way of communicating
between
electronic devices through the utilization of short wave radio and is
in fact
cutting edge electronics; however, it has not achieved the breakthrough
that it
was meant to bring forth.
We have had Bluetooth for a number of years and
many
companies have invested in the technology but public interest has been
lukewarm
at best. Is it because many people are simply too fazed by the
technology?
Could be- and if that is so- will it be a good idea to invest in
Bluetooth
stock at this time? Most companies have
jumped onto the Bluetooth bandwagon and this may be the time to get
into the
Bluetooth mode.
The Bluetooth trademark is owned by Bluetooth SIG,
Inc, USA,
composed of about 2000 independent entities-companies and individuals
worldwide- who are shareholders, and most technologically dependent
companies
and mobile major’s have a stake in the technology.
Investing in Bluetooth would mean you will have to
invest in
the 120 companies or so that have adopted and are actively implementing
the
technology in their products. These companies include IBM, Motorola,
and Nokia
to name a few. What does this mean for your investment needs? High
technology
companies that are waiting to implement this product, in a wider range
of
products may be offering IPO’s specific to the launch of a product that
is
heavily dependant on the technology.
To date, public enthusiasm for Bluetooth has been
mixed.
This might be an important determinant in your investment decision. No
technology however advanced can yield good profits if the public does
not adopt
it en-masse and this is simply not the case, as yet, with Blue tooth.
The
simplest way to check this out would be to see, if there is a cable
connecting
all the different components of your computer, those cable’s are what
Bluetooth
will replace and it is slow going, thus far.
Do check out websites of the major players such as
Intel and
Motorola as they have very informative digs on the new technology and
are
heavily investing in it. At the end of the day, investing in Bluetooth
stock
will be the same old technological stock purchases that you have
probably tried
for in the past.
