Low Power demands can now be implemented in a whole range of new devices; the current Bluetooth standard requires AAA battery power or more, where as the up coming v4.0 will easily run off a watch battery.
Version 4.0 also builds upon the increased data capabilities of build 3.0, by allowing equipped devices to connect to Wi-Fi networks at speeds up to 25Mbits per second.
Although we will be seeing a massive improvement in power consumption, v4.0 Bluetooth will still use roughly the same amount as v3.0 when data is streamed continuously.

Fancy being one of the first people to get your hands on new blower? Well, you may have missed the pre-order period, but even better, the is now in stock and ready to despatch today. Well, what are you waiting for, to see our best deals on the Sony Ericsson Vivaz or read on to see why you should be ordering this phone.
As mentioned in earlier posts, the Vivaz is built with Human Curvature in mind, meaning that it is not only one of the best looking handsets available today, but also one of the most comfortable to hold and use. Sporting a resistive means the Vivaz will react to your swipes, pokes and prods whether it be with your finger or a make-shift stylus. Navigating the phone is simple, thanks to the OS which will be familiar to most that have used a Nokia or previous Sony Ericsson Symbian handset.
The Vivaz’s party piece and it’s reason for being, is it’s camera, which it isn’t any ordinary unit. It’s an unit, sporting an LED flash and face recognition. But what’s so special about that, i hear you ask? Well, we’ve neglected to mention until now, that the Vivaz is capable of recording videos in High Definition. As you’ve probably guessed, the Vivaz is the natural successor to the and as far as we can tell, beats the Satio hands down in every respect unless you’re counting megapixels (which, as you probably know, doesn’t actually dictate how good a quality picture can be expected from a camera.)

Interested? Well, to see all of our best deals and to see the full specification and feature list you can expect from this phone.
Google have officially announced the launch of Gesture Search, which is a new way of searching your content by simply writing letters on the screen with your finger.
Below is an explanation from Google themselves.
“Say you want to call your friend Anne. Just open Gesture Search and draw letter “A”, and Gesture Search returns a list of items that have words starting with “A”. If your handwriting isn’t all that neat, that’s okay. If the “A” you draw looks a bit like an “H”, as seen in the bottom left corner of the screenshot, “H” results will be brought up as well. If needed, you can also erase a query by crossing it horizontally: left to right erases the entire query, and right to left removes the last letter or space in the query. Now you can either scroll down the list to find Anne or write more letters to refine the search.”
Sounds like a pretty good and simple tool to use, and definitely a lot more convenient to use in public rather than voice search. If you fancy trying out the Gesture Search for yourself, search for it in the Android Market; it will only appear and be available to download for handsets running on Android 2.0 or higher. If recent rumours are correct, all Android phones will be upgrading to 2.1 meaning all Android users will be able to take advantage of the new Gesture Search tool.
Keep an for new Android releases which will be sporting Gesture Search.
