Well, maybe I’ll have to wait just a little longer on replacing out my home theater setup.

A new version of Bluetooth that will be 100 times faster than the current version will be out by 2008.
The industry leaders have chosen this new Bluetooth to be the way to connect home theater equipment wirelessly.

"This new version of Bluetooth technology will meet the high-speed demands of synchronising and transferring large amounts of data as well as enabling high quality video and audio applications for portable devices, multi-media projectors and television sets," the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (Bluetooth SIG) said in a statement.

"The new version of Bluetooth, which uses Ultra Wideband (UWB) radio technology, will enable connections of 100 megabits per second, compared with transfer speeds of well below 1 megabit per second for most phones available now.

Speeds of at least 10 megabits per second are necessary to exchange high quality video and television between devices."
