I personally would not have predicted something like this was needed. How long has this been in the works? Now that I can see how useful this is, I'm amazed this didn't happen much sooner. Is this one case where "we" knew we needed it, but the tech just wasn't available?

Bluetooth LE uses substantially less battery than older Bluetooth devices do. It makes a big difference for anything that's battery powered. I was really bummed when I found out BLE didn't support audio at all.

I can't quite tell from the website, but I'm assuming we will need new BT antennas BLE Audio support before we can use it, which sadly means yet another generation of computers & smartphones have to come out before this can become ubiquitous.
