> Bluetooth is very finicky.

Is there any hope that these new wearable computers will lead to the adoption of something better than Bluetooth? Something based on IEEE 802.15.4, maybe?

BTLE is actually quite simple to understand.

BTLE implementations on the other hand, those are horrible.

It isn't all that hard to outright crash an iPhone when using BTLE.

Other platforms are... interesting.

Part of the problem is that the overall big BT spec is rather all encompassing, getting test coverage on it is hard.
