Bluetooth
-
This wireless technology enables communication between Bluetooth-compatible devices. It is used for short-range connections between desktop and laptop computers, PDAs (like the Palm Pilot or Handspring Visor), digital cameras, scanners, cellular phones, and printers.
Infrared once served the same purpose as Bluetooth, but it had a number of drawbacks. For example, if there was an object placed between the two communicating devices, the transmission would be interrupted. (You may have noticed this limitation when using a television remote control). Also, the Infrared-based communication was slow and devices were often incompatible with each other.
Bluetooth takes care of all these limitations. Because the technology is based on radio waves, there can be objects or even walls placed between the communicating devices and the connection wont be disrupted. Also, Bluetooth uses a standard 2.4 GHz frequency so that all Bluetooth-enabled devices will be compatible with each other. The only drawback of Bluetooth is that, because of its high frequency, its range is limited to 30 feet. While this is easily enough for transferring data within the same room, if you are walking in your back yard and want to transfer the address book from your cell phone to your computer in your basement, you might be out of luck. However, the short range can be seen as a positive aspect as well, since it adds to the security of Bluetooth communication. -
Wireless networking protocol, which allows cell phones, computers, palm devices, and some automobiles to automatically syncronize, and share data.

An idiotic looking device, used by unimportant people who want to look important. It is a wireles transmitter that is put on an ear and is hooked up to your cell phone, so no matter where your phone is, you can still recieve that highly anticipated, uber important phone call from your mom. It radiates a tacky neon blue when in use, yet most of the time it goes unused. Good for when driving, but when not on the road it makes you look sad and pathetic. Users deserve a drop-kicking.
-
A type of homeless person that walks around talking and/or shouting at him/herself, because they appear to be talking on a bluetooth headset.
-
The new fanny pack. A bad misunderstanding of the philosophy of form over function.
Among the saddest in the history of status symbols. Worn to impress when not in use. Otherwise totally annoying to bystanders when used.
The ultimate in lazyness as users prefer not to lift an arm to talk on the phone! -
A device put into a man's ear when he is unable to have a penis in his mouth or in his ass. Something that predominantly lower life forms have in their ears while out at restaurants or in front of you at the drycleaner and they continue to use them with no consideration for the waiter/waitress or store clerk.
On women, the same as above, but normally used by black women in automatic BMW's with balloon payments soon due - only used when in public places, never while in the car or else people who pull up next to them won't know that they have a cell phone!
Something that makes you look like you are running late for your Star Trek convention or the Dr. Who film festival. Only to be worn in public by morons.

Bluetooth is a wireless protocol for exchanging data over short distances from fixed and mobile devices, creating personal area networks.
There are two important parameters of Bluetooth devices - class and supported profiles.
Class signifies the distance at which a Bluetooth connection is possible. Most mobile devices are Class 2, which means they have a range of up to 10 m. Class 1 devices are rare and have a range of up to 100 feet.
A profile is a type of Bluetooth connection. The most common are the Headset (HSP) and Handsfree (HFP) profiles that enable the device to connect to a wireless headset or handsfree.
Some other profiles are OBEX (OBject EXchange) which allows transfer of files, contacts and events; A2DP, which adds support for streaming of stereo sound and AVRC, which allows remote control of playback. -
a brand name for a system for connecting electronic equipment such as mobile phones, computers, and electronic organizers to each other and to the internet using radio signals
