We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Bluetooth applications",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Tiny antenna embeds Bluetooth gains from
TDC (Telecom Design Communications), which we summarised at the time by saying "The Antenova Fusca 2.4GHz antenna is equally suitable for other 2.4GHz applications such as Wi-Fi and ZigBee".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Smallest claims for embedded antenna from
Antenova: "The ultrasmall Fusca 2.4GHz antenna is applicable to a wide range of embedded short-range wireless applications such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Wibree and ZigBee".
In July 2007, we covered the news from Cambridge Silicon Radio
concerning its BlueCore5-Multimedia
- take a look at Bluetooth chip enhances in-car applications
which says: "Speech and audio enhancement technologies improve the quality of in-car Bluetooth applications".
Take a look also at the news release from Broadcom Corp, Single-chip Bluetooth goes further and faster,
as well as FM radio and Bluetooth 2.0 capability in one chip from Marvell,
and Three-output power IC drives wireless applications from Micrel.
