Re: [NTLK] New to Newts. Wifi, Palm syncing, and other question

But what advantage does bluetooth offer? Can't I do with Ethernet on
wifi what I can do on bluetooth?
Isn't bluetooth one method of wireless connecting? 802.11 another? Both
accomplish the same thing, albeit differently, and one maybe does it
better--but?
I guess I'm confused as to why bluetooth is able to do what wifi
can't--but then, I've never used bluetooth...

can you straighten me out?
thanks.
