To comment on another post (sorry I did lot quote it...) but it relates to the power comments consumption that BT3 & 4 have, the idea is that they perform the same action at a fraction of the time it takes for an earlier version of BT might take. So even if they are higher in power use, they're drastically lower in time used. Which, in theory should he less stressful on the battery in the long run.03-13-12 05:08 PMLike 0 - So, to sum it up from the collective minds here:
The PlayBook has a chip that supports up to BT4, but, only 2.1 is currently enabled. It is yet to be determined if it is possible or even likely that RIM will update the software to use the higher BT standards.
For me, I would greatly appreciate a BT 3.0 at minimum. The reason for this - for my needs - is to increase the speed at which a Bridge session can communicate with the PB. With my Bold 9900 on its way, I can enjoy an increase in browser speed when enablingWiFi hotspot. But, bridge still has a use for me since some sites I need to visit are enabled through the BES connection behind our firewall. So, even if I have a faster "4G" with my new handset over my current 3G Torch, I'm still limited to 2.1 BT.
I'd prefer the option of 3.0 even if battery usage takes a hit because I can alway charge in the car or plugin somewhere.
Nevertheless, I'm very impressed with the PB and I'm eagerly awaiting the 9900 this week.03-13-12 06:53 PMLike 0 - ^^yeah I'm confused too....that site in the link says the playbook "supports" BT3.1 but is it actually utilizing it is the question
Must admit, I had mine at work with me (Home Depot) and noticed my 9900 was connected to my Playbook even though though the PlayBook was at the COMPLETE opposite end of the store. Pair that with this thread and I'm intrigued lol03-13-12 07:06 PMLike 0 - ^^yeah I'm confused too....that site in the link says the playbook "supports" BT3.1 but is it actually utilizing it is the question
