Philips Components and WIDCOMM, Inc., have jointly developed a Bluetooth CompactFlash card module for the Microsoft Windows CE operating system platform, now available commercially. This CompactFlash card module allows PC OEMs and electronics manufacturers to incorporate Bluetooth plug-and-play connectivity into their PDAs, handhelds, and other devices running on Microsoft's handheld OS.

"The Philips Bluetooth product platform now enables OEMs to offer end-users a complete and interoperable platform for PDAs and PCs, and for embedded Bluetooth products like mobile phones," commented Andreas Malzach, WIDCOMM VP Software Business.

The modules are easily customized and include complete reference designs for hardware, software, and user interfaces. These complete packages, designed to run on notebooks and personal digital assistants (PDAs), will enable small, low-power mobile devices to participate in Bluetooth personal area networks (PAN).
