So who would fake Bluetooth? Counterfeiters, apparently, who are trying to flood the market with fakes for the end-of-year boom expected in hands-free Bluetooth gear, which is expected as the result of impending legislation in several countries about driving with cellphones. Of course part of this is not that the gadgets are fake, so much as they don’t adhere to the Bluetooth Special Interest Group’s standards. So, while they shouldn’t use the name Bluetooth, they may possibly work. Given my miserable experience with Bluetooth gadgets until now, I can’t really see the difference.
