Bluetooth is an industrial specification for wireless personal area networks (PANs). Bluetooth provides a way to connect and exchange information between devices such as mobile phones, laptops, PCs, printers, digital cameras and video game consoles via a secure, globally unlicensed short-range radio frequency.
Bluetooth is a radio standard and communications protocol primarily designed for low power consumption, with a short range (power class dependent: 1 metre, 10 metres, 100 metres) 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.

Bluetooth is a type of wireless connection to connect a device such as a cell phone to a computer. To do so, the device (cell phone) needs to be Bluetooth compatible, and the computer needs a Bluetooth adpter to recieve the signals. Visit the links below for more info. The second one is a link to a Blutooth adapter.

Its a wireless connection.
Normally used on cell phones to have a wireless earpiece. Since it is a basic wireless connection, they could make other devices use the same type of hardware to send other information though, like a wireless connection to your laptop or something would be possible...
Prob best to look up that sort of question on wikkipedia
