Qualcomm to push Bluetooth in phones


In a good announcement for CDMA users, Qualcomm (inventors of CDMA cellular telephony and purveyors of many of the phones) have announced a deal with Broadcom (a chip manufacturer) which heralds the inclusion of Bluetooth features in future CDMA phones.

I've been a very happy Bluetooth user for some time now, using it to connect my headset to my phone and my phone to my Macintosh. However, to date most Bluetooth-enabled phones have been GSM phones, which although they account for about 60% of the phones in the world, account for a small portion of the phones in the US.
