A USB Bluetooth dongle is a quick and inexpensive means to allow Bluetooth Wireless communications onto your personal computer. Simply plug in the USB Bluetooth Dongle adapter into your computer's USB (Universal Serial Bus) port and any Bluetooth peripheral device will be able to communicate with your PC!

Say that you've bought yourself a brand new cell phone and you want to load mp3s onto it from your computer, but the software provided with your new phone isn't compatible with your computer. By investing a small amount of money into a USB Bluetooth dongle, you'll be able to transfer all of the mp3 files you'd like onto your new phone.

Its slim, pocket-sized design is ideal to fit into even the most crowded USB port.

You will need operational software for Windows XP, Windows 2000 and Windows 98, as well as the operational instructions manual and a Bluetooth Dongle Adapter.
