Is Bluetooth the Future of PC Applications?

[Pengwuino]

I've always thought the concept of bluetooth was awesome for PC's. I have a bluetooth keyboard and bluetooth mouse and they are great. Why hasn't Bluetooth technology taken off for PC applications? I've seen like, 2 printers that are bluetooth compatible and one got taken off of newegg and the other is like, a monochromatic laser printer . I've always thought that a good inkjet printer using bluetooth would be awesome. A 802.11 wireless printer is neat but i like the idea that i could bring the printer elsewhere.

So why hasn't bluetooth taken off with such great applications?

It has taken off now! I link my phone to my car, to my external speakers all the time. I bluetooth my keyboard, mouse and print. No wires ma!

haha I think looking back Pengwuino only needed to wait a couple more years. Even my 2010 Civic has bluetooth.
