Re: UKNM: WAP (was UKNM: Internet Marketing)

[Siobhan McVeigh]

basic definitions:  WAP allows different wireless devices to send and receive info

over internet, regardless of manufacturer or network operator.

BLUETOOTH creates a universal, short-range radio link between all types of

electronic devices, allowing them to connect instantly and wirelessly with each

other using 2.4GHz radio frequency, not infrared, so don't need to be in the same

line of sight
