The question is, what is it's power efficiency?
Obviously, it has a higher bandwidth throughput, but that almost always comes at a higher energy expense.
I don't know if it will kill off bluetooth. It'll probably just segment the marketplace. Right now, bluetooth is the "magic hammer" that people want to use for everything wireless, but it's just not practical in all cases.
This would be good for wirelessly syncing my iPod and camera. But I'm sure we'll still be using bluetooth for our wireless headsets.
