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.
