Most of the Bluetooth products are consumer electronics. The application profiles are well defined. These Bluetooth devices have been tested and certificated for interoperability. The Zigbee products are designed for the industrial or business applications, from AMR/AMI to access control. The application profiles of Zigbee have not been defined as well as Bluetooth SIG did. Most of the customers of Zigbee are the system integrators for certain projects, instead of the consumer electronics manufacturers for Bluetooth. These SIs only care about if their project can run or not, rather than the device interoperability. hardware open source standards trends Thu, 07 Aug 2008 16:29:44 GMT http://www.dzone.com/links/101756.html emanueleb 2008-08-07T16:29:44Z The ecosystem of Zigbee is different than Bluetooth.

If the projects I've been on are any indication, his advice hasn't been heard, and people end up with, for example, a DateUtil class that provides calculations, formatting and all that other stuff that the JSE libraries are so terribly unwieldy for. java standards Wed, 06 Aug 2008 17:20:23 GMT http://www.dzone.com/links/101508.html willcode4beer 2008-08-06T17:20:23Z Neal Ford claims that "Lots of 'Helper' or 'Util' classes indicates a poor design" and suggests trying to "incorporate your helpers into an intelligent domain object."
