Bluetooth SIG Launches Experience Icons

Jun 15, 2006, 1:10 PM by (staff)

The Bluetooth SIG today announced a set of icons to easily convey what functions a device is capable of to consumers. The Experience Icon Program simplifies Bluetooth profiles into easily understood tasks instead of complicated profile names. Manufacturers are encouraged to use the icons on packaging and promotional materials so that buyers know what to each device is capable of. At launch, icons are available for Print, Input, Headset, Transfer and Music. Simplified icons and names for dial up networking (DUN) and factory installed car systems should arrive later this year.
