I like Bluetooth so my favourite articles are about Bluetooth. Now Bluetooth Low Energy is here with the iPhone 4S and the Motorola RAZR so, there should be coming new apps which benefit from such new technologies. Though the other day I did a small experiment, I was in a bus and did a Bluetooth scan with my computer, and couldn’t find but perhaps only a couple of mobile phones. I think in the US, people are already aware of proximity marketing and perhaps find it annoying. What do you think?
