Bluetooth frequency hops around the 2.4GHz ISM freq as part of a security feature so no, you won't have any probs.

also bluetooth hops and uses channels in that range that have little or no interferance, ie, are unused by another bluetooth device or 2.4ghz device.

if you have one of those wireless tv transmitter things, it will kill both bluetooth and wifi.

I have been using a Bluetooth mouse with my laptop, which is connected over Wifi for the last year without problems.
