Bluetooth is a lower powered and shorter range (30 feet) networking capability that transmits at a pretty decent speed. , with the use of Bluetooth, you can wirelessly connect to any compatible printers, cell phones, laptops or notebooks. Bluetooth reduces the amount of time and cables you need to accomplish your tasks. Bluetooth also makes it easy to transfer files between your Bluetooth device and a Bluetooth enabled device of one of your friends, colleagues or business associates. This is the reason why many laptops, notebooks, cell phones and PDA’s include built-in Bluetooth capabilities.

Wi-Fi is a standered for wireless-LAN .you can have many nodes(computers) in a LAN(wired /wireless) connected at the same time depending up on the router's capacity.More over at a time more than a pair of nodes can communicate between the network.where as a Bluetooth workes on concepts of piconet where at a maximum of 8 nodes can be connected and only 2 nodes can communicate at a time. it also put a restriction the distance of 3m - 100m(100m practically impossible).

The main purpose of Wi-Fi is to connect you to the internet where you can surf the web at broadband speeds. Wi-Fi has a much broader range and can connect to any “hot spot” within 300 feet. The growth of Wi-Fi since its introduction in 1998 has been enormous. Many businesses are using Wi-Fi to entice customers to visit their store and connect from their laptops. It gives you the ability to connect to the Internet wirelessly when you are within the range of a Wi-Fi hotspot. It is a much bigger concept than Bluetooth thus surpassing its benefits.
