    I have a laptop which has a bluetooth card( or something) inside it. Bluetooth free came with the laptop thanks to one of Dell's special offers. I don't know Bluetooth. What is it good for in a laptop? I heard that you can use Bluetooth in cellular phones. :confused:

    Certain wireless keyboards and mice for one thing, there are probably other devices as well.

    I have a bluetooth wireless mouse and keyboard on my desktop (significant increased range and line of sight not required compared to IR)

    I use bluetooth on my cell phone to connect to my wireless headset. It also connects wirelessly to my car stereo for hands free operation in the car. It also connects to my computer wirelessly to sync and update when I come home.
