Bluetooth and Wireless LAN--phoney war. (Wireless Progress).By the end of this year, more than 24 million Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones will be in use worldwide. The forecast, by Nick Hunn, of TDK TDK Türk Dil Kurumu (Turkish Language Council) TDK The Dark Knights (gaming clan) TDK Tokyo Denkikagaku Kogyo KK (TDK Electronics Co. Ltd. Systems Europe Europe (y  r`əp), 6th largest continent, c.4,000,000 sq mi (10,360,000 sq km) including adjacent islands (1992 est. pop. 512,000,000). , is based on industry research, which shows that 11
