Bluetooth dongle

Another successful year for the Bluetooh wireless market. By the end of 2007, IMS - a market research company - forecast an increase of 40%, compared to 2006, shipping around 800 million Bluetooth-enabled devices.
IMS continues to forecast a big growth but raises caution flags regarding ultimate attach rates in the total cellular handset market. The growing demand for low-cost handsets in emerging markets will actively provide phones with only basic functionality and many handsets will probably not be Bluetooth-enabled.
The annual number of Bluetooth-enabled cellular handsets shipped is anticipated to surpass the 500 million unit mark for the first time ever in 2007.
Worldwide figures are still low for stereo headsets for a number of reasons including consumer acceptance, stereo headset design/price, and the fact that the other end of the equation (i.e. Bluetooth-enabled personal media players and A2DP-enabled phones) are yet to make a real impact on the market.
Once the three of these happen, and IMS Research definitely believes they will over the next 12 - 18 months, then we expect the stereo headset market to really take off. There is likely to be a big push at the end of 2007 and in 2008 but “considerable” worldwide volume won’t be reached until 2009 and beyond.
