An organization known as the Wi-Fi Alliance says that an application now called Wi-fi Direct will greatly improve applications and communication between computers, telephones and other devices traditionally set to communicate through routers and applications such as Bluetooth.
This has the tech industries excited and BBC News reports in part:
The Wi-Fi Alliance – whose members include Intel, Apple and Cisco – hopes devices with the new technology will be on the market by the middle of 2010.
Owners of devices without Wi-Fi Direct will be able to upgrade through a software download, says the technology consortium.
I’m not sure at this point that everyone will want to avail themselves of the technology, but if the software downloads mentioned above are inexpensive and not to large, it should be simple to try the technology and decide if it is useful.
