You might be thinking of BlueTOOTH re: cell phones. Blu-Ray and HD-DVD are the two competing standards for higher resolution DVDs, sort of another VHS/Beta thing. Both should start rolling out next year some time.
Current DVDs are basically 480i resolution; I think the new standards go up to 1080 although I'm rusty on the details right now.
M60ti, VP180, QS8, M2ti, EP500, PC-Plus 20-39
M5HP, M40ti, Sierra-1
LFR1100 active, ADA1500-4 and -8

And maybe they'll figure out which is the dominant one before they release the new technology! Then again, given our little SACD/DVD-A example (which the general consumer has roundly rejected), maybe not.

Mike, we're talking abut the next generation of optical disc formats, called Blu-Ray, not bluetooth which is a form of wireless communication used with, among other things, cell phones and their earphone/microphone.
There is a format war going on between Blu-Ray and HD-DVD (just like the Beta vs. VHS videotape war) to see which format will be the next generation. Here is a fairly readable article about the whole thing.
HD-DVD vs. Blu-ray: who cares?
