Bluetooth Special Interest Group rolled out Bluetooth 3.0 on 21st April, 2009. This new release is faster, safer and backward compatible. With this announcement from Bluetooth SIG, consumer electronics and device manufacturers can now build their application according to Bluetooth 3.0 specification.In the new standard accepted almost two years ago bluetooth 2.1+EDR (Enhanced data rate), which determines transfer speed up to 3 Mbit/s, will be increased by higher-speed interface, compatible with IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi). Here is a synopsis of features this new version is going to provide, taken from SIG press release.
"Bluetooth 3.0 gets its speed from the 802.11 radio protocol. The inclusion of the 802.11 Protocol Adaptation Layer (PAL) provides increased throughput of data transfers at the approximate rate of 24 Mbps. In addition, mobile devices including Bluetooth 3.0 will realize increased power savings due to enhanced power control built in.
This newest version of Bluetooth technology builds on the inherent qualities of the current 2.1 EDR version, including Simple Secure Pairing and built-in, automatic security. And as with all versions of the Bluetooth specification, Bluetooth 3.0 HS provides developers, manufacturers and consumers with the benefit of backwards compatibility, enabling both the expansion and enhancement of this technology with every new specification release."

"TALLINN, July 6 (Reuters) - The world's top cellphone maker Nokia (NOK1V.HE) said on Monday it was not working on introducing a phone running on Google's (GOOG.O) Android operating system.
British daily The Guardian said on Monday the Finnish mobile phone maker was understood by industry insiders to be developing a smartphone that runs on Google's Android software, to be introduced in September.
"Absolutely no truth to this whatsoever," said a Nokia spokesman.
Google's Android is a rival to Nokia's Symbian software.
"Everyone knows that Symbian is our preferred platform for advanced mobile devices."
Google's Android has got a lot of traction in the cellphone industry, with many vendors planning to introduce phones using it, but so far only a few Android phones have reached consumers."
