Answer 1

Bluetooth is a standard and technology using the standard that allows for wireless devices to find, identify, and communicate with each other.

What you're asking for is a universal Bluetooth receiver; it plugs into your computer (probably through a USB port, but not always), and lets your computer interact with other wireless devices. Be careful, though; there are many types of Bluetooth receivers: some are for hands-free phone use, others for wireless headphones, and others are for video games (the Nintendo Wii uses this with the controllers).

Your PDA probably came with a cable that connects it to your computer. This cable is faster than a Bluetooth connection, because wireless connections are inherently slower than wired ones.
