Bluetooth Applications 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 Applications are 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 Services are 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.
