If this spec requires that a WiFi radio installed in addition to a Bluetooth Radio it will be difficult for it to become as mainstream as 2.0 is nowadays, since any device without a WiFi radio will be left out. I hope WiFi and Bluetooth are all integrated onto a single chip.]]>Apr 14th 2009 12:30AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/04/13/bluetooth-3-0-to-use-wifi-for-high-speed-file-transfers/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/04/13/bluetooth-3-0-to-use-wifi-for-high-speed-file-transfers/
