bluetooth falls under 802.15, Wireless PAN. WiFi are under 802.11 under Wireless LAN.
"hotspot" is not a technical standard, and therefore open to lots of interpretations, including bluetooth.

wireless routers use 802.11x, so it's indeed, wi-fi. having wireless modem/router with broadband connection is like having your own hotspot.

If indeed it does not have a technical standard then I can be considered to be a walking "hotspot"

@ rj
it would be nice (back home) if they have a City-wide free WiFi.
Does Pasadena have a city wide WiFi?

I agree US is behind on the cell phone technology (but not that much, 5 years maybe) but on the telecommunication side ( no offense).. WiFi, GPRS it’s a new trend but its on the bottom of the ladder when it comes to the real world of telecommunication technology.

Let me retract my assertion about US is behind 5 years with the cell phone technology. Actually were in the same boat, cell phone unit home grown in Silicone Valley HP6315 (HP6300 series) equipped with infrared, Bluetooth, WiFi with PDA & camera, capable of MP3 & Video player and Treo-650 almost the same bells & whistles.
Services:
GSM (SMS) first time I learned and used the service is way back on 1997
TXT to Email & Email to TXT, MMS, VCast
TDMA, CDMA
Bluetooth and WiFi (wireless technology) is been around for years, base on what I read here WiFi is being launch in PI.
GPRS/WAP Ethernet service, including corporate Email connection.
OnStar technology (GPS tracking, lock & unlock your vehicle, and if you don’t pay your monthly bills they can send a coded signal & disable your car)
It just happened the majority of cell phone users in the US are content as long as they can talked from point-A to point-B. Text messaging is not their first choice.

For some of us here, bluetooth and wifi are old in the Philippines.
GPS applications aren't popular but they are in use, mostly in corporate settings.
Unfortunately, tech toys are expensive. Most of us aren't like Mr. Walking Hotspot.
hehehe.
@dlreyes aka Mr. Walking Hotspot.
Have you picked up your unit na?
