New Bluetooth 2.0 in Powerbooks

[matchoow]

Hey, what's the deal with the new Bluetooth upgrade in the new Powerbooks. What exactly is the difference in 2.0 and how will this affect my my current Bluetooth products? Is the 2.0 version compatible with the older versions. If I get a new Powerbook, do I have to get a new Bluetooth 2.0 version mouse as well?

Bluetooth 2.0 has a speed increase from 1mbps to 3mbps. It is backwards compatable with the older bluetooth, but unfortunately use of an older bluetooth device will slow the entire bluetooth network down to match that device's speed, creating the same bottlenecks that plauged the previous bluetooth generation.
