3.5.1 Overview

Some built-in Bluetooth applications provide full functionality for a specific task, such as
locating other Bluetooth devices or synchronizing two Personal Information Managers.
Other built-in Bluetooth applications provide a way for standard Windows applications to
accomplish their tasks wirelessly. For example, a Bluetooth application may create a
wireless serial connection between computers or provide wireless access to the Internet.

The difference between Bluetooth Applications and Bluetooth Services

Bluetooth ApplicationsAre software programs on this computer that allow this
computer to use the Bluetooth services that are provided by other devices. In the
Bluetooth configuration panel, these programs are referred to collectively as
“Client Applications.”
Bluetooth ServicesAre software programs on this computer that provide a
service to other devices. In the Bluetooth configuration panel, these programs are
referred to collectively as “Local Services.”

Note: Client Applications and Local Services usually have coinciding names; e.g., there

is a Fax service and a Fax application.
