Re: Bluetooth adaptors

["Alistair Watkins" <ukha@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I use a USB CSR NanoSira its a special reference model, and i dont think
they are to easy (or cheap) to come by.

I think I have stated it on here before, with BT dongles you get what you
pay for, so make sure you get one from a reputable company (except
microsoft.. well they can be reputable in some eyes :p ) this way you
should get a good, low power, decent range, bluetooth chip on your dongle
and a decent bluetooth stack and driver kit to put on the PC, which is
updated regularly as more BT profiles are released... I think some CSR
modules even allow for the lower stack levels to be upgraded over USB..
this will make them really future proofed!

If you need to knwo any more, get in touch.
