What do you use Bluetooth for on a laptop?

Slightly off topic as it relates to apple but all of them have bluetooth installed and I've had a usb dongle on old iBook for years.
I use BT for skype (absolutely awesome), for sync to my mobile phone, and once for emergency via phone to internet. I suspect digital camera might go that way, although transfer of large files very slow.

I Transfer data from one laptop to another. I prefer it to a wi-fi network.
Also it's my internet connection through my 3G mobile phone.
Mouse, mobile phone synch, etc.
I enjoy my bluetooth!

My current Thinkpad T42 has no Bluetooth and it's an inconvenience sometimes. As others have pointed out good uses include
- headset for VOIP
- wireless mouse / remote control
A dongle is an inexpensive replacement but it's another thing to carry and lose when you travel. I'd say get it.
