Handheld vendor 3Com and wireless solutions provider Extended Systems on Tuesday unveiled a partnership to produce 3G PDA devices with Bluetooth wireless capabilities.

Bluetooth technology, which is expected to arrive in products as soon as this fall, will connect devices within 10 meters through short-wave radio signals and is initially intended for use in office settings.

Boise, Idaho-based Extended Systems will provide Santa Clara, Calif.-based 3Com with its XTNDAccess Blue SDK Bluetooth protocol stack for use in 3Com's Palm handheld devices.

3Com is joining a number of companies that anticipate a strong market for Bluetooth technology. Intel, Santa Clara, Calif., demonstrated its working Bluetooth protocol operating system at the Bluetooth Developers Conference in Los Angeles last December.

Notebook vendors are jumping on the Bluetooth bandwagon. A spokesman for Toshiba America Information Systems, Irvine, Calif., said the company has developed a working Bluetooth protocol for notebooks, but has not set a release date.
