Bluetooth-tagging is a key mobile application for the future. Discuss.

By on May 8, 2008 in News

Bluetooth-tagging is a key mobile application for the future — a quote directly from Anthony Nystrom, CTO of Next2Friends.

I’m not entirely sure I agree.

Ok, bluetooth the technology, yes — that’s smart. There’s a lot of possibilities. But when my sodding Blackberry bluetooth doesn’t speak to my Apple iPhone bluetooth that is on a totally different planet from my LG Secret bluetooth… there ain’t much going to be a-happening soon. Big fan of the concept of bluetooth tagging though.

Anthony believes otherwise as Next2Friends just snapped up BluetoothMeet (does what it says on the tin).

So reports Netimperative.

I’ll do a bit on Next2Friends shortly.

    The security implications of letting your Bluetooth be visible are so tremendous that i wont even consider any applications for along, long time unless something effectively blocks our Bluetooth distributed virii and other takeover attempts, either by a distributed effort of affected mobiles or by the hacker/cracker being physically near you.
