connect hardware wirelessly!

Answer 3

Bluetooth is an industrial specification for wireless personal area networks (PANs).

Bluetooth provides a way to connect and exchange information between devices such as mobile phones, laptops, PCs, printers, digital cameras, and video game consoles over a secure, globally unlicensed short-range radio frequency (1 meter, 10 meters, 100 meters) with low-power consumptions.

Answer 4

Bluetooth is a low-power-consumption and short-range wireless technology for personal area networks (PANs). It connects your personal electronic devices, such as laptops, mobile phones, digital cameras, audio equipments, and printers, without the clutter of cables. The Swedish telecom giant Ericsson originally developed Bluetooth. The name is inspired by King Harold Bluetooth, known for his unification of previously warring tribes from Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. Likewise, the Bluetooth technology was intended to unify and connect different personal electronic devices.

Answer 5

connect between phone and pc ( for data sending ), using wireless mouse and keyboard, wireless headphone

Answer 6

Bluetooth is a wireless method for devices to talk to one another. For example, you may want a bluetooth printer so you don't have to hook it up directly to a computer using a wire. A bluetooth headset for your cell phone works the same way - no wires. Typical range for bluetooth is about 30 to 100 ft, depending on your environment. The nice thing about bluetooth is that you don't need to be in direct line with the devices as the signal is omnidirectional. Meaning, you can send a print job to your bluetooth printer through a wall. Remember, if you buy a bluetooth device for your computer or cell phone, you will need bluetooth capability in both in order for it to work.

Answer 7

Bluetooth is a wireless protocol which allows accessories to be connected to your computer, mobile 'phone, network, provided everything else is bluetooth enabled.

So you can walk into the house where your computer is running and upload you photos from your camera phone directly to the computer while you're making a cup of coffee without plugging anything in.

Answer 8

Bluetooth is a radio frequency based technology that allows you to use wireless devices (keyboard, mouse, headsets, etc.) with your computer.

Answer 9

Bluetooth is a Wireless connection allowing you to send information Wirelessly and connect items wirelessly such as Bluetooth Headphones, Printers etc.

Answer 10

it lets you connect to other devices with bluetooth (eg another phone to transfer pictures, music etc )

Answer 11

Bluetooth is a telecommunications industry specification that describes how mobile phones, computers, and personal digital assistants (PDAs) can be easily interconnected using a short-range wireless connection. Using this technology, users of cellular phones, pagers, and personal digital assistants can buy a three-in-one phone that can double as a portable phone at home or in the office, get quickly synchronized with information in a desktop or notebook computer, initiate the sending or receiving of a fax, initiate a print-out, and, in general, have all mobile and fixed computer devices be totally coordinated.
Bluetooth requires that a low-cost transceiver chip be included in each device. The tranceiver transmits and receives in a previously unused frequency band of 2.45 GHz that is available globally (with some variation of bandwidth in different countries). In addition to data, up to three voice channels are available. Each device has a unique 48-bit address from the IEEE 802 standard. Connections can be point-to-point or multipoint. The maximum range is 10 meters. Data can be exchanged at a rate of 1 megabit per second (up to 2 Mbps in the second generation of the technology). A frequency hop scheme allows devices to communicate even in areas with a great deal of electromagnetic interference. Built-in encryption and verification is provided.

The technology got its unusual name in honor of Harald Bluetooth, king of Denmark in the mid-tenth century.

Answer 12

send and receive messages, pictures, tones, numbers, names and some games if u switch urs on and look for devices whoever ur compatable with you can hav any of those above free.

Answer 13

By Bluetooth you can connect to different devices (e.g. another mobile phone with Bluetooth) and share files.
It's very useful while sending or downloading music, photos etc. from another mobile phone user. The best and most important thing about it- it's wireless. However, the distance between two devices sharing files must be shorter that about 100 metres.

Answer 14

It allows you to connect multiple devices, that support bluetooth, together without using cables, such as mobile phones to head sets.

Answer 15

It removes tarter, helps to prevent GUM disease and fights evolution.

Answer 24

an interesting fact here, the origin of bluetooth!!

Did you know that the term "Bluetooth" actually derived from 10th-century King Harald? Apparently, the King was known to be quite fond of blueberries. Why, I'm not sure, but the blueberries would always stain his teeth blue, and eventually the King was known across Denmark as "Bluetooth". The Trade Association thought it would be appropiate to name Bluetooth technology after the king, since he was very powerful and helped to unite Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. The first Bluetooth receptor even had a tooth-like shape, so the name, well, stuck like blueberries I suppose!

Answer 25

to enable a wireless connection to be established between two Bluetooth phone

Answer 26

bluetooth is like a newer version of infrared. you can connect headsets to mobile phones. its more advanced than IR becoz bluetooth doesnt have to transmit in a straight line. basically, its a way of connecting two devices together without the need of wires.

Answer 28

Blue tooth is an industrial specification for wireless personal area networks (PANs). Blue tooth provides a way to connect and exchange information between devices such as mobile phones, laptops, PCs, printers, digital cameras, and video game consoles over a secure, globally unlicensed short-range radio frequency. The Blue tooth specifications are developed and licensed by the Blue tooth Special Interest Group.
Blue tooth is a radio standard and communications protocol primarily designed for low power consumption, with a short range (power-class-dependent: 1 meter, 10 meters, 100 meters)[1] based on low-cost transceiver microchips in each device.

Blue tooth lets these devices communicate with each other when they are in range. The devices use a radio communications system, so they do not have to be in line of sight of each other, and can even be in other rooms, as long as the received transmission is powerful enough.

More prevalent applications of Blue tooth include:

* Wireless control of and communication between a cell phone and a hands-free headset or car kit. This was one of the earliest applications to become popular.
* Wireless networking between PCs in a confined space and where little bandwidth is required.
* Wireless communications with PC input and output devices, the most common being the mouse, keyboard and printer.
* Transfer of files between devices with OB EX.
* Transfer of contact details, calendar appointments, and reminders between devices with OB EX.
* Replacement of traditional wired serial communications in test equipment, GPS receivers, medical equipment and traffic control devices.
* For controls where infrared was traditionally used.
* Sending small advertisements from Bluetooth enabled advertising hoardings to other, discoverable, Bluetooth devices.
* Seventh-generation game consoles—Nintendo Wii[2], Sony PlayStation 3—use Bluetooth for their respective wireless controllers.

Answer 29

Contrary to what has been posted, Bluetooth is NOT free. Nor is Bluetooth an 'open standard'. You pay for Bluetooth when you purchase the enabled item. Someone somewhere is making a lot of money out of this.
