| Re: blue tooth and tablet pc I have a Toshiba M200 with both WiFi and Bluetooth. I'm very happy with
both because they are for different uses. Many people (especially in USA)
compare the two but I think is like to compare apples with oranges.
WiFi is a tecnology for wireless LAN. I use it at office and at home to
connect the tablet to the LAN. Using the LAN I print, fax (via Windows 2003
fax server), share files and navigate in Internet.
Bluetooth is a technology for wireless PAN (personal area network). I use
it to connect the tablet to several devices like a Sony Ericsson T610
cellular phone, an headset, some PDAs (Palm and Windows Mobile 2003).
When I link the tablet to the phone via Bluetooth I'm able to navigate in
Internet via GPRS (I used it in Germany, in France, in Switzerland and in
Italy - where I live). Using Bluetooth I'm able to syncronize my Notes
calendar and address book with the PDAs. It is very useful when I'm on the
road.
