3rd Annual Bluetooth SIG Best of CES Winners
Tuesday night we not only celebrated a significant milestone – 10 years of Bluetooth technology! – but unveiled the winners of our 3rd annual CES contest. The competition was steep as each year manufacturers come up with new and interesting ways to bring Bluetooth technology to the consumer. The overall winner of the contest was the innovative P2 Widescreen Music Player from Samsung. This slim, lightweight device has great video and sound quality and easily connects to stereo headphones and cars alike (we showed it to several reporters while connected to another finalist, the Ford SYNC system). And this music player is soon to not be just for music – I understand a firmware update will make this handy product a phone as well. Congratulations to Samsung and all of our winners!
