Is Bluetooth practical for use with mobile devices?
Yes. One concern for mobile computing users is power consumption. Bluetooth radios are very low power, drawing as little as 0.3mA in standby mode and 30mA during sustained data transmissions. Bluetooth radios alternate among power-saving modes in which device activity is lowered to maximize the mobile power supply.
While there are many differences, key among them are range, power consumption and intended use. Bluetooth wireless technology in its most common implementations has a range of 30 feet (10m), is low-power consuming, designed for battery operated mobile devices and provides voice, data and audio connections between devices.

A Personal Area Network is another name for a Bluetooth Piconet. What is it really — a technology, a standard, an initiative, or a product? Bluetooth wireless technology is a de facto standard, as well as a specification for small-form factor, low-cost, short range radio links between mobile PCs, mobile phones and other portable devices. The Bluetooth Special Interest Group is an industry group consisting of leaders in the telecommunications, computing, and networking industries that are driving development of the technology and bringing it to market.
