Researchers say that Bluetooth is finally taking off, signalling more products on the market and a wider choice of devices for buyers.

Three separate market reports are giving encouraging news for Bluetooth, suggesting that the wireless technology is at last beginning to catch on.

Analysts projected that chipset shipments of Bluetooth, the short-range radio technology for connecting PCs, consumer gadgets and peripherals, will push above five million this year, with some estimates topping 13 million units. While the numbers are a fraction of what Bluetooth is eventually expected to achieve, analysts said they show the technology is on track to becoming ubiquitous.
