Bluetooth allows wireless devices to talk to each other either for data or for commands. For example, a Bluetooth wireless phone can receive commands from, say, a PDA, or it can send and receive data (voice in case of a wireless headset or in-car phone), or print a file over Bluetooth, and so on.
Bluetooth supports security (devices are paired so it is not a free-for-all). It is (supposedly) easy to implement on low-powered devices and is not as power hungry.
Does it work? I have a BT enabled phone and PDA and it's a joy using the two of them together (use the PDA to compose email and send email thru phone via BT, synchronize address books, download files to phone (ring tones), and so on. A lot of that can be done with IRDA if line of sight is not an issue. A BT digital camera can send stuff to a PC directly with no wires.
Range is designed to be short (not like 802-11), 10-30 feet or so.
