connects two devices without cables.
Can be phone to headset.
Can be phone to computer.
Can be any bluetooth device to any bluetooth device.
It's a bit like infra red but different. So a bit like pointing your remote at you telly.
Hope that answers the question.

The trouble is Retroman is than many people out there soak all this stuff up like there's no tomorrow whilst the remainder like us struggle with the daily encroation of technology. I started to read the recommended Bluetooth website until I got to "Are you still using your mobile to phone people? That's SO 1990s" and that's when I switched off. I have the cheapest Nokia phone I can buy, almost only text people, frequently leave it at home and often run out of 'Pay as you Go' time on it. Yet my grown up kids have monthly phone bills of over £100 each - and all they talk about is crap. They're going to be seeing their friends anyway in half-an-hour so why won't it wait?
No I struggle with my phone as I only use 1% of it's capability. My digital camera has a workshop manual with eighty-odd pages, the button and switches on the camera are so minute, I need a magnifying glass to read them let alone remember what each one does. Heck, why do I need FIVE different flash settings?
My portable CD player got used a couple of times before I gave it to one of my kids. I had to stick Dymotape labels on it 'cos the buttons were so tiny and carry the lengthy workshop manual around with me.
No the World is slowly passing us by however in tonights Quiz Night at the local gym, I bet you not one team in the 20s age group will do well. "Capital of Egypt? Height of Everest? The Marshall Plan? Dunno" but we do, don't we?

Brilliant! Great rant Paul, you succinctly summed up the frustration that so many of us feel about modern life. I'm currently reading the book "Grumpy Old Men" from the TV series of the same name and your rant could have come straight out of it's pages. Totally recommended reading!

Is that all? Methinks you have got away lightly!
My camera comes with a users manual of..................
199 pages!!!!!!!
Of which I have read about 40 - and understood about 20.
Technology is taking over my life.
GOOD, I AM NOT ALONE!!
BLUE TOOTH GO SCREW YERSELF!!!!
Great rant, Paul. Agree with every word. The Luddite Grumpy Old Bastard revolution starts here.
