Linux port of Bluesoleil announced for UMPCs

Posted on 02 June 2008 by



explorer.bmpFresh news from Computex!

IVT has just announced that they have ported the Bluesoleil 5.0 bluetooth stack found on lots of computers to Linux. The program retains its GUI and user friendliness and is supposedly ported specificaly for UMPCs. However with all the naming confusion thats around and the fact that very few UMPCs actually run linux, we assume they mean Netbooks and MIDs. Expect this to provide a good experience with bluetooth on quite a few devices in the future.

    I find the bluesoleil BT stack more mature than the toshiba one.

    I would suspect that this is to support Wibrain. BlueSoleil is the BT stack on the B1H, and will probably be on the Linux versions.

    Hoho, so nice to see your comments here.

    Bluetooth is a somewhat complex stanard, so that interoperability and stability is always an issue. BlueSoleil team is very focusing on this. That’s how it win.
