There are plenty of cool ways this low-power Bluetooth will be used. One I read about a while back is companies like Disney will scatter Bluetooth receivers all over their theme parks and give low-power Bluetooth bracelets to kids entering the park. Using these, lost kids can quickly be tracked down. As a parent who once "misplaced" a 10-year-old at Disney World, I wish they'd had this eight years ago.
