ddRbb,
You can use either Bluetooth or Wifi on both end. You can't mix the two technology since they are not compatible. Laptops generally don't come with Bluetooth they generally come with Wifi. Nowdays, a lot of mobile devices come with both wifi and Bluetooth. However, most mobile device manufacturers don't leave the wifi turned on. It draws too much power an your batter would be dead in an hour. Bluetooth use less power an therefore can be left on for a longer period of time. If you want auto linking between the computer and the mobile device I think Bluetooth will be a better solution.

Good luck...........RFengr
