Can I use Bluetooth to create a network?

Bluetooth Networking
As many as eight Bluetooth devices can be connected at once! For example, you can have a couple of Bluetoothenabled computers, a mobile phone, a video camera, a printer, a PDA, and a Bluetooth access point all working together to share an Internet connection, synchronize address books and calendars, share a printer, and perform various other functions. If there are more than eight Bluetooth devices in the same area, only eight of them can be linked together via pairing to communicate at the same time. Any other devices will not interfere with the Bluetooth network.

Will Bluetooth interfere with other wireless devices?
Bluetooth operates at the 2.4 GHz range. While wireless Ethernet 802.11 and some cordless phones do share the 2.4 GHz band range, Bluetooth is designed to operate in a noisy-frequency environment; moreover, by using constant frequency hopping, any possible interference would be minimal and intermittent.
Summary
Bluetooth offers a very affordable, high-speed, secure, simple and dependable way to communicate and share data wirelessly. Today Bluetooth technology spans the technology, automotive, medical, gaming, entertainment, communications and other industries worldwide. Thats why companies including Lexus, Texas Instruments, Apple, Hewlett Packard, BMW, Sony Ericsson, Chrysler, Microsoft, Motorola, Nokia, Toshiba, and hundreds of other developers are introducing more and more new Bluetooth-enabled products that incorporate this new proven standard in communications.
