Cirago Bluetooth BTA3210 v2.1 EDR Class 2 Micro Bluetooth Adapter
It doesn’t get much better than this, a bluetooth adapter just barely larger than the male USB connector. Install is darn simple, download the latest software from the Cirago website (it includes the standard Toshiba Bluetooth stack), unzip, and run setup. Follow the onscreen instructions (insert the adapter when prompted) and you are virtually done.
I installed this on an Aspire One, fits perfectly, is exactly the right size and uses little power. XP 32 bit. Did almost nothing to resource use. Paired this with a Nokia N95 and a Logitech blue Logitech V470 Bluetooth Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks (Blue). That mouse looks so cool with this netbook. It doesn’t get much better than this.
I’m leaving the adapter plugged in forever.
There is one downside, the blue LED is kind of bright and blinks a lot while you use the adapter. A piece of black electrical tape solved that problem in a heartbeat.
To those that have trouble with the drivers – you have to follow instructions. If you insert this adapter before you install the software you will end up with no end of huge problems. That is flat out the only reason this adapter wouldn’t work.
A great alternative to this adapter, and I own 3 of these is: IOGear GBU421 Bluetooth 2.0 USB Micro Adapter. I know for certain the IOGear works with Vista 64bit.
