I know this may be a dumb question but is there greater capabilities using a
Bluetooth over a cable apart from no cable attached?
Thanks

Bluetooth is a wireless radio protocol and does not function through a cable

when he says 'over a cable' he doesn't mean *through* a cable, he means
*compared* to a cable connection...

You can also use several things without having to swap cables
and use new things without needing a new cable or some sort
of adapter.

Also, sneaking a contact card onto someone else's phone
would be far more obvious if they saw you hooking up a cable.
