Bluetooth + Ultra Wideband?

It's no secret that Bluetooth is facing extinction—tons of people think that sooner or later it's going to be replaced by Ultra Wideband, which currently can reach speeds of up to 100Mbps compared with Bluetooth 2.0's maximum of 3Mbps (and could potentially get as fast as 500Mbps or 1Gbps)—but the AP reports that the Bluetooth Special Interest Group is in preliminary talks with both the WiMedia Alliance and the UWB Forum, the two rival UWB camps, on ways to make Bluetooth somehow compatible or interoperable with each camps' standard. How exactly that'd be accomplished isn't quite clear (there are about a million little technical things that would need to be sorted out), but if they can pull it off it'd make the transition to UWB a heck of a lot easier and make Bluetooth seem a lot less obsolete a couple of years from now.
