Bluetooth is a short-range wireless technology designed to replace wired connections between electronic devices. Named for a 10th Century Viking who united Norway and Denmark, Bluetooth makes it possible for Pocket PCs to connect to cell phones, printers, computers and more, all without wires.

Primarily, Pocket PC and Windows Mobile Smartphone users benefit from Bluetooth for two reasons: The first is Bluetooth's ability to create a wireless Internet connection between a Windows Mobile device and other Bluetooth-capable devices, such as headsets, keyboards, printers, etc. The second is Bluetooth's ability to establish a wireless connection between a Windows Mobile handheld and a computer, or another Windows Mobile device, for data exchange.
