Wi-Fi is intended as a replacement for a wired local area network which is a computer network that covers a small area such as a home or office. Bluetooth is intended as a replacement for wired data transfer within a personal area network which is usually considered a computer network in an area even smaller than that of a LAN, usually limited to a few meters, which is used for data transfer between devices such as laptop computers and cellphones.

Can you connect wireless to the internet with a PDA other than WiFi?

Bluetooth and WiFi are the two most dominant wireless technologies to choose from for personal connection. (I'll assume you PDA is not a cellular phone) If you don't want to use WiFi, then Bluetooth is really your only option. You can setup your Computer which also must have Bluetooth as a Bluetooth modem. You can then connect from your PDA to your Computer via the Bluetooth connection and to the internet. This however will be significantly slower than WiFi and the distance you can travel form your computer will be short.
