New Bluetooth Technology Expected To Reduce Power Consumption.

The AP (4/20) reports, "A new version of the Bluetooth wireless technology could expand what can be done by watches, toys, home sensors, medical monitors and other devices that typically have been limited in their functions because they don't get their batteries changed or charged very often." A low-energy version of Bluetooth was originally under development at Nokia in 2001, but "in 2007, Nokia donated the technology to the Bluetooth group to promote wide adoption." An announcement from the Bluetooth Special Interest Group on the technology is expected today. However, the AP notes, "Phones with existing Bluetooth chips won't be able to connect."
