I have a bluetooth headset.

I have builtin wireless on my laptop.

Can the laptalk connect to the headset for communication thru gizmo?

Any help appreciated, flames ignored.

Not enough info.
Is the built-in wireless bluetooth or 802.11x?
If the former, yes, if the latter, no.
My laptop has both - 802.11a/b and bluetooth, and the bluetooth talks
quite nicely to my bluetooth mouse. A headset should work just as well.

You can use a USB bluetooth dongle if you don't have built-in bluetooth
- just plug it into the USB2 port.

There is some possibility of interference if you have both 802.11x and
bluetooth, but you can usually fix it by selecting a different channel
on the 802.11x.
