Mac OS X includes capabilities for Bluetooth technology. Bluetooth is an industry standard for wirelessly connecting computers and peripherals that supports transmission of data at up to 3 Mbps within a range of approximately 30 feet. Bluetooth technology for Mac OS X lets customers wirelessly share files between Macintosh systems, synchronize and share contact information with Palm-OS based PDAs, and access the Internet through Bluetooth-enabled cell phones. Bluetooth is built into most Macintosh models.

Bonjour®, the Company’s zero configuration networking technology, is based on open Internet Engineering Task Force (“IETF”) Standard Protocols such as IP, ARP, and DNS and is built into Mac OS X. This technology uses industry standard networking protocols and zero configuration technology including Ethernet or 802.11-based wireless networks like the Company’s AirPort products. The source code for this technology also includes software to support UNIX, Linux, and Windows-based systems and devices.

The Company developed FireWire, a high-speed serial I/O technology for connecting digital devices such as digital camcorders and cameras to desktop and portable computers. FireWire has high data-transfer speed and “hot plug-and-play” capability and is currently integrated in all Macintosh systems.
