Using Bluetooth
Overview
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology. Devices with Bluetooth capabilities
can beam to exchange information over a distance of about 10 meters (30 feet).
Unlike infrared, you don't need to line up the devices to beam information with Bluetooth. You can
even beam information to a device in a different room, as long as it's within range.
Bluetooth uses:
⎯
Beam information (e.g. files, appointments, tasks, contact cards) between devices that have
Bluetooth capabilities.
⎯
Use a Bluetooth service. Once you connect to another device or computer using Bluetooth,
you can locate and use any of the services available on that device.
