Bluetooth'one of the hottest, fastest-growing communications technologies on the market today'is a short-range system that enables mobile phones, handheld devices and computers to wirelessly interconnect. Users can completely coordinate all of their mobile and fixed computer devices while eliminating the cables that usually connect them.

This innovative system has been around for years in the form of wireless headsets, speakerphones, earpieces and more. All are designed to maintain a quality connection while giving users the true mobility and freedom they seek.

Despite the engineering wizardry Bluetooth brings, rare flaws may occur with these products. That's why consumers need to ensure they're purchasing Bluetooth accessories from a reputable company that provides strict testing of all of its products before offering them for sale.

'The sale of underperforming Bluetooth devices is a slowly growing issue,' says Jennifer Bean, IS Director of eCommerce for eAccess, the parent company of Treo-Gear.com, an online retailer of Treo devices and Treo accessories. 'That's why we quality check every Bluetooth-enabled device that's on our site before we will sell it.'

Bluetooth technology is globally available, applies to a wide range of devices, is easy to use, features secure connections and is a globally accepted specification. The built-in security, low power consumption, small size and low cost of the chipset solution make it functional for the tiniest of devices, and thus, minimizes the likelihood of technical problems with Bluetooth accessories.

Still, according to Bean, Treo-Gear.com wants to assure the highest quality for its customers. Therefore, the company's rigorous testing methods include checking for defects and usability issues. But they also test for compatibility, fit, finish, ease of use and quality.

'If I can't provide customers with a quality product, I won't carry it period,' says Bean.

Treo-Gear.com also tests all Treo Bluetooth accessories to ensure that they meet compatibility and all other specifications. Physical testing is performed on every accessory'and every device that goes with it.

'We are very selective with the Bluetooth accessories that we choose to carry,' says Bean. 'We want to make sure that we only provide the best Bluetooth and Treo accessories for our customers.'
