Next generation Bluetooth to have easier pairing

We couldn't ask for better news about the next generation Bluetooth. The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) is demoing the next version of Bluetooth named "Bluetooth 2.1+EDR." This new generation of Bluetooh has some welcome improvements over our existing Bluetooth. Easier pairing and improved battery life top the list.

The new Bluetooth is said to have near field communication (NFC). "NFC lets you pair and transfer files/images from one Bluetooth gadget to another by putting them within range of one another. So you can send pics from your cameraphone to your photo printer or pair your cell phone with a wireless headset via a virtual handshake."

Check out this video for the particulars.
