There are two ways most equipment can connect wirelessly. The first is a long range (up to 300 feet, depending on the building construction) and is generically knowna as wireless. The 802 standard controls the implementation. 802.11g is the one most used.
Bluetooth is also a wireless system, but only works over a few feet. It is intended to connect peripherals (like those StarTrek ear pieces for cellphones ) to another device. Bluetooth is being used in many different devices, but is mainly used for cell phones, and for Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) like the Palm Pilot.
You can use bluetooth to connect printers, keyboards, and mice to a computer system. Anywhere there is just a short distance between the two devices.

Bluetooth is an industrial specification for wireless personal area networks (PANs), also known as IEEE 802.15.1. Bluetooth provides a way to connect and exchange information between devices like personal digital assistants (PDAs), mobile phones, laptops, PCs, printers, digital cameras and video game consoles via a secure, globally unlicensed short range radio frequency.
The name Bluetooth is derived from the cognomen of a 10th century king of Denmark, Harald Bluetooth. According to the inventors of the Bluetooth technology, Harald engaged in diplomacy which led warring parties to negotiate with each other, making Bluetooth a fitting name for their technology, which allows different devices to talk to each other.[1]. The name of the king in Danish is Harald Blåtand and the Bluetooth logo is based on the H and B runes.
or in simple
Bluetooth is a radio standard and communications protocol primarily designed for low power consumption, with a short range (power class dependent: 1 meter, 10 meters, 100 meters) based around low-cost transceiver microchips in each device.
Bluetooth lets these devices communicate with each other when they are in range. The devices use a radio communications system, so they do not have to be in line of sight of each other, and can even be in other rooms, so long as the received transmission is powerful enough. As a result of different antenna designs, transmission path attenuations, and other variables, observed ranges are variable; however, transmission power levels must fall into one of three classes:

Bluetooth provides a way of connectivity and exchange of information between two devices like PDA, cell phones, computers., laptops, printers and other electronic devices. Communication is achived between two devices by short wave radio signals. Some of it application include cellphone to wireless headset, wireless controllers for playstation and Wii systems, wireless keyboard and mouse system.
It usually used for short distances communication like pda and computer upload or file transfer.
I have attached a link to further explain bluetooth and its applications. I hope it helps you understand better. Take care.

Wireless technlogy commonly used in cell phones and other forms of communications wireless device in a computer network as an example.
It is gradually being replaced by WiFi. Short for Wireless Fidelity.

A bluetooth is a cell phone that hooks around your ear so that it can stay with you. When it rings, you just press the side and start talking. :)
