I'm long xtnd (at least for the time being) but the article you posted reflects what the one I posted did as well: Bluetooth is pricey right now. I hope xtnd recovers but if so it does on hope. Here's another excerpt from yours: At first, anyway, Bluetooth will appear in only the priciest of products ? cell phones costing $200-$500 and high-end laptop computers. A Bluetooth chip currently costs about $10-$20, though the price is expected to drop to $5 in the next two to four years. Bottom line: the cheaper the chip, the more products that will incorporate it. By 2003, more than half of the 750 million cell phones sold worldwide should be Bluetooth-enabled, according to Dataquest senior analyst Bryan Prohm.
