Windows Phone 8 Bluetooth profile now publicly listed


The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) has published the profile for upcoming Windows Phone 8 on its website, which reaffirms what has been previously extracted through scouring the leaked Windows Phone 8 SDK. According to the profile listing, Apollo will support the transfer of files between smartphones.
Moving up from Windows Phone 7.5 both the headset profile and serial protocol are missing from the specification read out, while Audio/Video Remote Control and Audio/Video Control Transport Protocol are sporting new versions, 1.4 and 1.3 respectively. To top everything off, it's Bluetooth 3 and not the latest version 4, which the Apple iPhone 4S already features.
Hopefully we'll be able to see Bluetooth in action soon with upcoming Windows Phone 8 hardware.

Meet the Vers 1Q: the wooden, portable Bluetooth speaker gets Kickstarted, ships this November

VERS, INC REVEALS THE 1Q, A HAND-CRAFTED WOOD BLUETOOTH SOUND SYSTEM

Compact, powerful speaker delivers warm, natural sound from any mobile device; successfully funded on Kickstarter

Saxonville, Mass. – August 7, 2012 – Vers, Inc., a creator of compact, hand-crafted wood sound systems and mobile accessories, is excited to announce the 1Q, a Bluetooth sound system that can fit in the palm of your hand. It has dramatically surpassed its initial funding goal on Kickstarter, and will begin shipping this Fall.

"The response to the 1Q on Kickstarter has been simply amazing, and has exceeded our expectations 10X," says David Laituri, founder of Vers and 1Q designer. "We've also gotten a lot of feedback for our approach from the Kickstarter community, a great co-development experience for everyone at Vers!"

The 1Q is wrapped in a 3" wood cube, and connects to any mobile device (smart phones, tablets, laptops and more) through Bluetooth v2.1. It's the perfect, portable speaker system for anyone who wants to bring along their favorite music. The sound reproduction of wood is unmatched, as it provides a natural warmth.

The 1Q has a 30-foot range, and a rechargeable battery that lasts over 10 hours. The 1Q also has a built-in auto switching capability to convert from mono to stereo when two units are linked to create a micro stereo.

For each tree used in production, 100 are replanted through Vers' partnership with The Arbor Day Foundation and the U.S. Forestry Service. "We're excited to be able to go beyond simply achieving sustainability with 1Q, to helping restore the environment where it's needed the most," says Laituri.

The Vers 1Q comes in Walnut, Bamboo, and a limited Kickstarter red Beech edition. It will retail for $119.99. You can see a full list of pledge options by checking out the 1Q Kickstarter page.
