Bluetooth 3.0 use will grow
A REPORT predicts that the use of the Bluetooth 3.0+HS standard will increase.
The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) claims that the standard will apply for 23 per cent of all certified Bluetooth-enabled devices by the end 2010 and further climb to 61 per cent in 2011.
The plan initially is to stick the technology into external USB dongles for desktop and notebook PCs, but later it will start to appear in modules for handsets, netbooks and other consumer electronics products.
The group predicts that by 2013 the number of handsets using Bluetooth 3.0+HS technology will top 300 million units.
It will have found its way into 60 to 70 million PCs and 30 to 35 million media players. There will also be about 10 to 15 million external dongles in circulation by then, the SIG concludes. µ

Maybe it will maybe it will not, 2.0 I have seen on Mac's and some PC but only now have I seen so peripherals that use it, I hope BT 3.0 works better than 2 did.
Perhaps close to 60% of the products sold in 2011 will support 3.0, but that is far from the same as people will stop using their older products that don't run 3.0.
A study on what percentage of USB data traffic in 2011 use the 3.0 standard will most probably reveal a number well below 60%.
