Will we ever have something better than Bluetooth?


I find myself continually frustrated with various Bluetooth devices, both huge-tech co and tiny company produced.

Is there something (truly not experimental) on the horizon that will give us better wireless device connectivity?

This is funny to me because I remember going to a talk at comdex years ago and the speaker kept saying “Bluetooth is coming I’m so tired of hearing this” and then he made a sarcastic comment about how Bluetooth would connect his belt and shoes and phone and everything else and everyone laughed.

What are your requirements for "something better?"

4.0 and below, yes, iffy. 5.0 and above - better connectivity, battery life, etc. 5.3 is the most current version and its loads better than 4.0 or 5.0.

I don't see how, incremental upgrades is the way. But maybe Apple comes up with something so much better...
