IOGear USB 2.1 Bluetooth Micro Adapter GBU421
Long story short, the most difficult thing about installing this product is getting it out of the blister pack in the first place.
The provided instructions (you can actually download or read the manual on the web while you’re waiting for the Bluetooth dongle to arrive) are very clear, the install is a snap….but you’ve read other reviews and know that already.
Here’s the true beauty of this tiny piece of hardware. It links to practically everything! Because it is not only Bluetooth 2.0 compliant but also backward compatible to Bluetooth 1.1 and also supports stereo audio you won’t have any issues connecting to a Bluetooth mouse or stereo headset.
Within minutes of the install I had the little (and I mean tiny) GBU421 linked to my Motorola cell phone (audio and dialing from the laptop, no need to ever get the phone out of pocket or purse), a PDA, Garmin GPS Mobile10, Bluetooth headset and a mouse. The crazy thing is IOGear has managed to make this thing work with all the above simultaneously.
Anyone considering a ‘look alike’ Bluetooth dongle featured by some eBay and other sellers, don’t bother. Either they aren’t 2.0 or aren’t backward compatible (you lose the use of most Bluetooth mice) won’t handle stereo audio and sometimes all the above.
Very impressive IOGear…and did I mention it’s really tiny?
