Created in 1994 by telecoms vendor Ericsson for their new phones, Bluetooth is a piece of open wireless technology that is used for transferring data over short distances. Bluetooth has become extremely popular in recent years and is fitted into most of the new mobile phones on the market.

All of the latest mobile phones come with Bluetooth as standard these days, while even most cheap mobile phones are fitted with Bluetooth. Those who want to share songs, video clips and other information with friends can use Bluetooth to send the data straight to their new mobile phones in just a few seconds.

Bluetooth can be found in a wide range of devices these days and has expanded from new phones to a wide range of other products. Everything from computers, cameras and even cars are fitted with Bluetooth at production, and the inclusion of Bluetooth is a major selling point for a large number of customers.

Before the invention of Bluetooth, cables and wires were needed in order to transfer data between the latest mobile phones. However, Bluetooth connection is both wireless and automatic and has vastly improved the way in which information is shared, as well as coming with a wide range of interesting additional features.

Users of cheap mobile phones can also make use of Bluetooth technology as this tiny piece of useful technology is low cost. The master Bluetooth device is able to communicate as many as seven devices at any one time in a Wireless User Group, which is a useful way for those in meetings to share information.
