Add Bluetooth to any notebook or PC for $7.99 shipped

Tag : Cell Phone Bluetooth

It's the rare notebook that doesn't have Wi-Fi, but not all modelsoffer Bluetooth. Though not a critical feature, the short-rangewireless technology is handy to have for things like cordless miceand cell-phone tethering (i.e., using your phone as a modem).Meritline has a teeny-tiny USB-powered Bluetooth adapter on sale for just $7.99 shipped .

What I love about this thing is that it's so teeny-tiny: Just arounded little nub. You can leave it plugged into a USB port andbarely know it's there. This is a Bluetooth 1.2-compliant adapterwith a listed range of up to 65 feet (though let's be honest: 30feet is usually where Bluetooth tops out).

I really love using a Bluetooth mouse when I travel, and on therare occasions when I need to tether my Palm Centro, I can do sowithout a cable. For 8 bucks shipped, there's no cheaper (or lessobtrusive) way to add Bluetooth to a notebook (or desktop, ifthat's your thing).
