Bluetooth connection with mac - what does it allow you to do?

[themoffster]

I get my first mac tomorrow and with it I am getting a magic trackpad.
When viewing youtube videos of the trackpad I saw how you connect them via bluetooth. In the video i saw that the person had their iphone connected via bluetooth to their mac too.

This got me thinking - what are the benifits of doing this?
What am i able to do that i can't through itunes?

I genuinely don't know what benifits being able to connect the two machines via bluetooth gives. Can someone elaborate?

Thanks!

There isn't much advantage. Bluetooth is just a battery drainer IMO.

He could be tethering his iPhone's 3G to the Mac.

No, I'm not tethering
