What is the difference between Bluetooth TECHNOLOGY and Wi-fi TECHNOLOGY?

They are simply two different methods to transfer data via wireless conectivity. They will work in the same environment, but seperately. Bluetooth is for shortrange items, such as keyboards, mice, cameras, phones, etc. WiFi, or 802.11, is for longer range network type connectivity. Bluetooth was originally supposed to be super cheap and easy, though that didn't pan out. 802.11 is now as cheap if not more, and easier than Bluetooth so Bluetooth seems to be growing, well, long in the tooth... he he

You can write a book about this. What is it you are loooking for? Please be more specific, it helps. Bluetooth=short range (30 feet) and very easy setup. Not good for heavy data transfer. Wi-fi= Longer range (I think up to 300 feet). Good for data transfer between computers an such. Needs more work on the set up side but not too hard either.

Well the basic difference in technology lies in the - Spread Spectrum Transmission-which allows the signals to be sent over a range of frequencies using very low power. Bluetooth technolgy works on FHSS(Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum) and the WiFI on DSSS (Direct-Sequence Spread Spectrum) and FHSS both.(

All of them are forms of connection between the computer and a peripheral (e.g. keyboard, camcorder, mouse, external hard drive). Let's start with firewire. Firewire uses a cable to connect the peripheral to the computer. For example, you recorded some video clips on your camcorder and want to save it on to your computer. This is a physical connection. Now as for the other two, they do not connect to the computer through a physical connection but rather connect through transmitting a signal. Bluetooth connects to your computer and vice-a-versa by transmitted an radio signal. It is like a walkie talkie between two people. For example, using a cordless mouse on a laptop. Bluetooth is only good for short distances, about 10+ meters (i.e. 30 feet). As for Wi Fi, like Bluetooth there is no physical connection but rather connects via radio signal. However, Wi Fi works for much longer distances (300 feet) than Bluetooth and transmits at a much greater rate. For example, using a desktop with Wireless connection to the Internet to download an entire movie.
