Needless to say? Why needless to say? I think you actually need to explain this, and cite your sources.

Last time I checked, Bluetooth is set to go forward with the 3.0 version using UWB technology to potentially compete with Wireless USB. How did that go wrong?]]>Feb 10th 2008 4:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/10/bluetooth-sig-looks-at-bluetooth-wifi-to-hasten-transfers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/10/bluetooth-sig-looks-at-bluetooth-wifi-to-hasten-transfers/
But can someone just tell me what the big difference is between Bluetooth and Wifi?

I know they have different uses, but why?]]>Feb 10th 2008 5:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/10/bluetooth-sig-looks-at-bluetooth-wifi-to-hasten-transfers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/10/bluetooth-sig-looks-at-bluetooth-wifi-to-hasten-transfers/wifi = high size/power/speed
bluetooth = peer to peer
wifi = infrastructure
bluetooth = better for peripherals
wifi = better for networking]]>Feb 10th 2008 5:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/10/bluetooth-sig-looks-at-bluetooth-wifi-to-hasten-transfers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/10/bluetooth-sig-looks-at-bluetooth-wifi-to-hasten-transfers/Feb 10th 2008 6:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/10/bluetooth-sig-looks-at-bluetooth-wifi-to-hasten-transfers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/10/bluetooth-sig-looks-at-bluetooth-wifi-to-hasten-transfers/Feb 10th 2008 6:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/10/bluetooth-sig-looks-at-bluetooth-wifi-to-hasten-transfers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/10/bluetooth-sig-looks-at-bluetooth-wifi-to-hasten-transfers/Feb 10th 2008 5:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/10/bluetooth-sig-looks-at-bluetooth-wifi-to-hasten-transfers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/10/bluetooth-sig-looks-at-bluetooth-wifi-to-hasten-transfers/this=hardware]]>Feb 10th 2008 7:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/10/bluetooth-sig-looks-at-bluetooth-wifi-to-hasten-transfers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/10/bluetooth-sig-looks-at-bluetooth-wifi-to-hasten-transfers/
Pair with Bluetooth, switch to WLAN for file transfer. Use a software manager for the UI and to make the 'handoffs' out of sight. To the user it appears seamless, no?]]>Feb 10th 2008 7:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/10/bluetooth-sig-looks-at-bluetooth-wifi-to-hasten-transfers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/10/bluetooth-sig-looks-at-bluetooth-wifi-to-hasten-transfers/Feb 10th 2008 5:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/10/bluetooth-sig-looks-at-bluetooth-wifi-to-hasten-transfers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/10/bluetooth-sig-looks-at-bluetooth-wifi-to-hasten-transfers/Could it be done on current phones (that have wifi and bluetooth, eg N95), via firmware update?]]>Feb 10th 2008 5:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/10/bluetooth-sig-looks-at-bluetooth-wifi-to-hasten-transfers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/10/bluetooth-sig-looks-at-bluetooth-wifi-to-hasten-transfers/I just got FIOS yesterday and spent an hour and a half trying to connect my 360's wifi adapter to the Actiontech router when I realized IT WASN'T COMPATIBLE.

the next Bluetooth format should be compatible to wifi and should support OBEX and A2DP where applicable. ]]>Feb 10th 2008 5:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/10/bluetooth-sig-looks-at-bluetooth-wifi-to-hasten-transfers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/10/bluetooth-sig-looks-at-bluetooth-wifi-to-hasten-transfers/Feb 10th 2008 6:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/10/bluetooth-sig-looks-at-bluetooth-wifi-to-hasten-transfers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/10/bluetooth-sig-looks-at-bluetooth-wifi-to-hasten-transfers/Feb 10th 2008 6:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/10/bluetooth-sig-looks-at-bluetooth-wifi-to-hasten-transfers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/10/bluetooth-sig-looks-at-bluetooth-wifi-to-hasten-transfers/Feb 10th 2008 6:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/10/bluetooth-sig-looks-at-bluetooth-wifi-to-hasten-transfers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/10/bluetooth-sig-looks-at-bluetooth-wifi-to-hasten-transfers/]]>Feb 10th 2008 6:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/10/bluetooth-sig-looks-at-bluetooth-wifi-to-hasten-transfers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/10/bluetooth-sig-looks-at-bluetooth-wifi-to-hasten-transfers/Feb 11th 2008 2:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/10/bluetooth-sig-looks-at-bluetooth-wifi-to-hasten-transfers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/10/bluetooth-sig-looks-at-bluetooth-wifi-to-hasten-transfers/Feb 10th 2008 7:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/10/bluetooth-sig-looks-at-bluetooth-wifi-to-hasten-transfers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/10/bluetooth-sig-looks-at-bluetooth-wifi-to-hasten-transfers/Feb 11th 2008 11:44AM
