The folk at Zeevo have developed a chipset which is the first in the world to be able to deliver CD quality audio over a Bluetooth [PDF] wireless link. Which will undoubtedly be A Good Thing!
‘Today’s announcement means that Bluetooth – the increasingly available wireless standard for connecting personal use devices with their peripherals – can finally be applied to portable MP3 players, MP3-capable cell phones or PDAs, and even consumer stereo systems, to provide wireless connections to stereo headphones, headsets, or speakers without any sacrifice in audio quality. Previous implementations of Bluetooth – used primarily for wireless keyboards, mice, or mono cell phone headsets – have not been able to attain CD-quality level that consumers have come to expect with their wired audio appliances, due to technical limitations.’
