Bluetooth dongle anyone???
 

If anyone is wanting a USB2 compliant bluetooth dongle, they are available at Poundworld in Accy centre. (Not Poundland).

And they are only £1.

Cheapest I have ever seen.

Just got a few so the family can access their phones without a cable.

Re: Bluetooth dongle anyone???
 

I will be rushing in tomorrow to get one at that price,...Thank's Matty.......Tony

Re: Bluetooth dongle anyone???
 

I got 2 & will get a couple more next week.

As Bluetooth has been missed off my laptop & the rest of the families PC's I might as well give them the facility to talk to their phones.

DealExtreme: Cool Gadgets at the Right Price - Site-Wide Free Shipping (Page 1) do them all the time for 2$ delivered which is similar and less if you take the bus fare of going to town into consideration

ah but they only cost YOU a quid if someone gives you a lift into town

Re: Bluetooth dongle anyone???
 

or a free bus pass ..:D:D:D

Re: Bluetooth dongle anyone???
 

And you can get it this week, from dealextreme it would normally take 2 weeks to arrive.
At the moment its just not coming at all :D

(I already have a DX one).

Apparently you can use "internet connection sharing" via bluetooth - so this might be an alternative to shelling out on a wireless router if you want to cheaply connect your laptop to an internet connection that's being monopolised by (say) a desktop PC.

It's probably not up to the job of multiplayer games, and range might be limited to one room if you live in a real Lancashire house instead of one of these modern things with papier-mâché walls.

i tend to find DX stuff normally comes in a week

i was offering an alternative to when these are no longer available.

as for ICS, its possible but windows does struggle to dns properly through it. i have set it up a couple of times and each time ended up setting routing and dns manually.

there is also different standards of BT, 1.1 is much slower than 2.0

I use bluetooth to talk from my laptop to phone but if I need to copy more than a couple of photos its so much faster plugging it in via USB.

Re: Bluetooth dongle anyone???
 

I bet nowt will be coming from DX within the next few weeks :D

Re: Bluetooth dongle anyone???
 

I use BT quite a lot for sharing stuff, its surprisingly good if you have BT 2.0 capable devices at both ends.

Re: Bluetooth dongle anyone???
 

Oh dear, all gone today.

There was 2 rows of them on Friday.

I bet they are on a market stall for £3 each soon.

They are back in.

And if anyone plays the drums on their Xbox/Wii/PS2-3 then Poundland have RockBand official drumsticks in.
