WIDCOMM's BTW and BTW-CE Development Kits for the Bluetooth-enabled PC notebook and PocketPC products have been released, and WIDCOMM's core Bluetooth software technology is integrated into both the Compaq Bluetooth MultiPort module and the IBM ThinkPad Bluetooth UltraPort module; WIDCOMM's BTW-CE is integrated into the Compaq iPAQ Bluetooth Wireless Pack and the new iPAQ Pocket PC H3870. These products enable wireless connectivity and ad hoc networking between a host of recently available Bluetooth-enabled products, such as mobile phones, PDAs, portable computers, and network access points.

Using WIDCOMM's BTW and BTW-CE Development Kit, software developers can access the core Bluetooth functionality provided by BTW in the Compaq and IBM Bluetooth modules and BTW-CE in the Compaq iPAQ. The BTW Development Kit and BTW-CE Development Kit, in combination with WIDCOMM's Network Access Point and PDA Development Kits, build a unique platform for application developers designing computing, enterprise, and industrial applications.

The BTW Development Kit includes two Bluetooth connectivity devices, a run-time copy of the BTW software, a Bluetooth trace tool, sample applications (source code), and extensive API and user documentation. The BTW-CE Development Kit includes a run-time copy of the BTW-CE software, APIs, sample applications (source code), and extensive API and user documentation. The BTW-CE Development Kit also supports the HP Jornada family of Pocket PC PDAs. Both Development Kits, like WIDCOMM's Bluetooth development kits for Handspring Visor/Palm OS and network access platforms, are fully supported through WIDCOMM's technical support.
