Jan 22 2008Tiny Bluetooth Adapter Will Get Lost Easily
Brando, maker of some of the best products of the century is actually producing a product with some use -- the ultra-tiny USB Bluetooth Adapter. The unit "allows for a working range of more than 10 meters, with a 723 Kbps data rate transmission." They run $24 and are very small. But don't worry -- while it is tiny, you'll still be able to locate the device in the dryer by the noise it makes while it bounces around in there. And on a completely unrelated note, this picture just gave me the idea for a great "get rich quick" scheme. You know what I'm thinking don't you? That's right, I'm going to print a million copies of this picture and pass the pennies off as real ones. Brilliant, I know. I certainly didn't get this "Good Eater" award because I'm stupid.

A neat way to add bluetooth to stoff that doesn't have it...it'd have been better if it were part of a hub (heh, almost spelled "hug"), so you wouldn't lose your usb port and you'd still get bluetooth.

This is a good idea. If I needed bluetooth on my other laptop. I would use something like this. I would put in on a sd card too. I use my sd card less than I use my usb port, but then again, I only have one sd card slot, but I have 3 usb ports.

That would be good for me, my last USB Bluetooth Adapter stuck out the front of my PC and lasted 2 days before I swiveled on my chair and kicked it with my big feet. I could plug that in and it's like it's not even there.

FAKE!
I don't believe the penny is real.

No, it's not fake. I have a friend who saw one once, and he said it's real. He even has video of it to prove it.

Yeah, had one twice that size - can't find it (the bluetooth adapter - not the penny).
