Nokia Introduces New Personal Network Protocol
HOW so?
How does this exactly compliment bluetooth? You might as well just USE bluetooth in these situations where you need a "low power short distance wireless protocol".
Good golly.

Especially when bluetooth 2.0 is faster! Is there really a need for this? From wikipedia:
Bluetooth 2.0
This version is backwards compatible with 1.x. The main enhancement is the introduction of Enhanced Data Rate (EDR) of 3.0 Mbps. This has the following effects (Bluetooth SIG, 2004):
* 3 times faster transmission speed (up to 10 times in certain cases).
* Lower power consumption through a reduced duty cycle.
* Simplification of multi-link scenarios due to more available bandwidth.
* Further improved BER (bit error rate) performance.

Wibree is touted as being extremely low power and is intended for devices that use button cell batteries.

Don't most bluetooth headsets run off of button cell batteries, albeit 2 or 3 at a time? Granted they don't last that long when actually in use, but it doesn't sound like Wibree is intended to be used continuously either.
