Bluetooth vs. WiFi
Posted By spikyemrys
Bluetooth is capable also, like WiFi, of providing wireless internet to computers. This can be done by turning a data-capable mobile phone into a makeshift modem for dial-up internet access. The connection is then provided to the computer via Bluetooth which is wireless.
The difference between the two is that WiFi provides higher throughput and covers larger distances at the expense of having higher power consumption and requiring the installation of more expensive hardware. Bluetooth can be used to replace a variety of applications while the purpose of WiFi is just that, to provide wireless LAN access to devices designed capable of hosting it.
