Bluetooth on Archos Android seems confirmed
Posted by Charbax on July 26th, 2009
Tony Limrick of Archos UK seems to have confirmed that the Archos Android devices will have Bluetooth support. This would be very significant for following features:
- Bluetooth headset. If holding a 4.8″ device to your ear feels uncomfortable, and you can answer calls without taking it out of the pocket.
- Bluetooth keyboard
- Bluetooth mouse
- Bluetooth remote control, no need for infrared remote control that only works when pointing it to the Archos in DVR Station mode anymore.
- Other Bluetooth accessories imaginable like I am imagining the ultimate watch would be an Android notifications and contact list compatible Bluetooth watch. Imagine just looking at your wrist watch when the phone calls, to see who’s calling without having to take out your Archos from your pocket. Imagine clicking on a touchscreen watch to pick the contact from the contact list to dial. Or imagine that on any incoming Android notifications, that you could view them on your wrist watch, text messages, status updates and more.
- Bluetooth microphone, if there is a built-in or external camera, then one or several compatible Bluetooth microphones might be one of the best ways to record high quality sound wirelessly when shooting videos.
- Bluetooth headphones, which also in combination with the tie-clip Bluetooth microphone, could be more comfortable to use than a Bluetooth headset.
- Archos could be used for wireless secure payments, for indoor precise localisation functions, for wireless ticketing, for secure wireless door opening, for passport control, for digital visit card transfer and many other such potentially revolutionary features.’
