Small and works like a charm
by WhtKnight85 on August 20, 2009
Pros: The small adapter has great range at a size that practically makes it unnoticeable and unobtrusive.
Useful for transfering pictures or contacts to and from a Bluetooth phone.
Cons: The adapter is so small, it may be hard to pull off the USB port.
Not good for transferring larger data, such as video or music (Bluetooth spec limitation, not adapter itself).
Summary: Depending on where you buy this adpater (at Fry's Electronics, I got this for $7.99) this is an inexpensive little device that adds Bluetooth connectivity for anycomputer or ...

Summary: Depending on where you buy this adpater (at Fry's Electronics, I got this for $7.99) this is an inexpensive little device that adds Bluetooth connectivity for anycomputer or laptop. The adapter is small and practically unnoticeable, hardly protruding out from the USB port to the point you will hardly find a reason to take it off.
This adapter is great for pulling off your photos and contacts from your phone to your computer, or connect a wireless headset for VoIP calls and voice chats.
Due to Bluetooth's limited transfer speed, this is not good for transferring music or videos to and from a phone or computer.
Had this for a couple months and hardly had a problem. Just disappointed in the transfer rate, but that is not the fault of the adapter, but more the specs of Bluetooth.

- Description: The IOGEAR Bluetooth 2.0 USB Micro Adapter offers Bluetooth connectivity at a fraction of the size of normal Bluetooth USB adapters. About the size of an adult fingernail, the IOGEAR Bluetooth 2.0 USB Micro Adapter allows users to connect to all the latest Bluetooth devices like cell phones, PDAs, mice and keyboards. Because the micro adapter is so small you can easily plug it into your computer without blocking any surrounding USB ports. The Micro Adapter also features Bluetooth EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) technology for transfer rates that are 3 times faster than traditional Bluetooth 1.1 and 1.2 adapters. The micro adapter also allows users to connect up to seven Bluetooth devices together and transfer even the largest files quickly and easily. With the micro adapter's lower power consumption, you can enjoy longer battery life on your notebook computer. This Bluetooth Class 2 adapter is also compatible with both Mac and PC computers, and offers a wireless range of 30 feet (10 meter). It is great for both home and mobile networking needs.
