Toshiba launched the first Bluetooth SDIO card with Genio e, its warmly received PDA that came to market in July 2001.
The new SDIO card offers advanced specifications, including a 50% cut power in consumption and 9mm shorter package.
The new card also has a flat profile.
Toshiba will supply the new SDIO card to manufacturers of digital consumer products and PC peripheral equipment, allowing them to use Toshiba's development tools to create application software utilising the diverse potential of the new card.
Manufacturers will then bundle the SDIO card and its software with the product and bring it to market.
Toshiba is the sole Japanese member of the Bluetooth Special Interest Group and a leading promoter of the Bluetooth standard that launched its first Bluetooth-related products in 2000.
The company has also established an organisation to authorise use of the Bluetooth logo as a means to globally promote interoperability among Bluetooth-related products.
