Content preview from Bluetooth™ Profiles: The Definitive Guide

Foreword

This is a welcome book. Profiles have been one of the most ignored and least understood aspects of the whole Bluetooth specification. Within that is a very great concern, for profiles are what will ultimately make the Bluetooth specification either successful or one of the biggest failures within the wireless community. Unless everyone can be made aware of profiles and their effects—both developers and ultimately customers—then Bluetooth technology will not live up to its promise.

Behind that statement is Bluetooth’s biggest problem—its promise. The Bluetooth specification started life as a pretty modest idea: its goal was to replace cable—in particular, the cable between a mobile phone and a laptop PC. Along the way, that concept has ...
