I wonder if you get longer battery work using bluetooth than Wifi.

There is no wifi at my work So I use a RF Output Power: Class 1 Zonet bluetooth dongle connected to my work PC and the axim accesses the web through it.

Description on the tiger direct site says the range is
Working Distance: 328ft (100m) in free space. It would seem that this would only increase the distance in one direction (download) In my quick tests the range is pretty good.

But the question is does it save any power over wifi
