Wi-Fi联盟的最新标准Wi-Fi Direct，相关产品将在2010年推出。此消息一出，立刻引起Wi-Fi Direct与高速蓝牙3.0之间的竞争浮出台面，双方在PC和消费电子领域势必将展开激烈的竞逐。双方在功能与应用上相互重迭，技术也各有利弊，谁能胜出尚待观察。

The Wi-Fi alliance’s latest standard Wi-Fi Direct’s related products will be launched in 2010. Once this news came out, the competition between high-speed Wi-Fi Direct and Bluetooth 3.0 immediately surfaced. They will surely compete fiercely in the PC and consumer electronics industries. Their functions and applications overlap, and each technology has its advantages and disadvantages. We will see which one is going to win.

Wi-Fi Direct技术最主要的特色，在于即使没有Wi-Fi网络、热点或是Internet连接，藉由Wi-Fi点对点技术，Wi-Fi Direct都可以让任何Wi-Fi装置直接相互链接传输。例如，Wi-Fi Direct可让笔电直接传输讯息，无须USB联机和E-mail作为媒介；消费者也可藉由单一Wi-Fi Direct远程控制装置，直接控制数字家庭内各类具备Wi-Fi升级功能的消费电子产品。以往传统PAN解决方案只能局限在室内单一隔间环境，Wi-Fi Direct技术则将打破这个藩篱，将传输覆盖范围直接扩及到室内各个角落。
