"I believe Intel is a bit behind the curve here.-- Royal Philips Electronics (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHI) today announced its first complete plug-and-play Bluetooth™ semiconductor module--"

You have missed the point.
Intel is deveoping a process technology that integrates both digital and analog capability, which will permit, with the appropriate analog circuitry, the ability to integrate a general purpose CPU as well as the essential RF circuits to implement on board radio communications.
In this regard, they are well ahead of the curve.

If they are successful at this (and that success will not come right away) the integrated processor/communications capability will provide enormous value propositions for these chips.

Intel's foresight, and their willingness to invest the R & D dollars for this long range project, will provide another degree of separation between Intel and its competitors in the future.
