Creative Applications of Bluetooth Technology
Bluetooth is wireless technology that allows you to exchange data over short distances, while using short wavelength radio transmissions. It was invented in 1994 and it was originally conceived as a wireless alternative to RS-232 data cables. Also, Bluetooth allows you to connect several devices at once – which can overcome problems associated with synchronization.
The chances are that your mobile phone, if it is relatively new and purchased within the last year, are equipped with Bluetooth technology. Perhaps you haven’t used that capability, as you haven’t known what to do with it. It’s time to start playing with the Bluetooth feature on your phone, as it can offer a lot of advantages.
It’s worth it to take the time to figure out how to use the Bluetooth feature on your phone. It’s not that difficult and it will offer you a number of advantages. There are many creative and interesting things that you can do with Bluetooth on your phone, such as:
Playing Games with Friends
Many of the mobile games these days will offer you the option to play remotely against your friends over Bluetooth. This will allow you to play competitive games together in a way that is much faster and cheaper than playing over the Internet. For example, you could take turns playing pool or darts or you could compete against each other in racing games such as V-Rally and MGS Karting. Let the games begin!
Sharing With Others
When you were a little child you were taught to share, so why not use Bluetooth to make sharing digital content easier? You can quickly and easily share a ringtone, phone, video or other type of file with your friends when you send it via Bluetooth. Most phones will have this as a simple option, which can be done with a mere click of a button. You will be able to share content wirelessly, without using up your mobile phone credit.
Using a Mobile Hub in your Home
Did you know that you can make and receive phone calls from any phone in your house, essentially making your home phone into a mobile phone and vice versa? There are Bluetooth mobile hubs which will allow you to turn your home phone into an extension of your Bluetooth mobile phone. You can connect up to three different phones together with a mobile hub, whether you have a landline or not.
This type of device often helps to deal with the issue of poor indoor mobile reception, without any more dead spots. It will work with most Bluetooth enabled mobile phones.
Listening to Music Anywhere
Another fun and creative way to use the Bluetooth capability on your phone is to get yourself a Bluetooth speaker. This is a small and compact portable speaker than can be connected to your phone via Bluetooth, so that you can have great music with you on the go. These types of speakers are usually very easy to set up and they offer great sound.
