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.
