Technology Overview 27 MacBook Pro Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR MacBook Pro features integrated Bluetooth 2.0 with Enhanced Data Rate (EDR). This means you can connect wirelessly with Bluetooth-enabled devices such as PDAs, mobile phones, wireless headsets, HCRP-supported printers, and other Bluetoothequipped computers-without requiring a direct line of sight between devices and with a bandwidth of up to 3 Mbps. Because Bluetooth was designed to connect to multiple devices simultaneously, you can, for example, use the Apple Wireless Keyboard and the Apple Wireless Mouse at the same time. Every MacBook Pro comes ready to connect wirelessly to Bluetooth-enabled peripheral devices within a radius of 30 feet. With the included iSync software, you can easily synchronize information between your MacBook Pro, mobile phone, and Palm OS-based PDA. You can also have cable-free connections between your MacBook Pro and your Palm handheld. Use the Bluetooth File Exchange application to transfer files between MacBook Pro and another Mac or a Windows computer. Or use a camera phone to send images to your MacBook Pro, put them in an email, and send them instantly over the phone's GPRS connection. With the Bluetooth technology in MacBook Pro, a Bluetooth-enabled GSM/GPRS mobile phone can even act like a cellular modem in your pocket. When future phones access the Internet at broadband speeds, the 3-Mbps Bluetooth capability will give you the optimum foundation to take advantage of this greater bandwidth. Sudden Motion Sensor You expect your notebook computer to go where you go. The information stored on its hard drive can range from business-critical information to priceless personal files- making protection of data on the hard drive a must-have feature. The Sudden Motion Sensor helps to detect an accidental drop or fall by sensing the change in axis position of MacBook Pro, as well as the accelerated movement. In the event of a drop or fall, the Sudden Motion Sensor instantly parks the hard drive heads so they won't scratch the disks on impact. This lessens the risk of damage to the drive and helps increase the chance that you will be able to retrieve your valuable data. When the Sudden Motion Sensor detects that the computer's position is once again level, it unlocks the hard drive heads, and normal operation can resume.
