Customer Review: Adds Bluetooth headset support to older Mac
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this product from Amazon in May 2007 to add Bluetooth headset and iSync capabilities to an older Mac. It's a Rev C version (System Profiler reports "Manufacturer: Cambridge Silicon Radio"), with black and orange trim, not the older gray and blue D-Link motif. It works great on Mac OS X 10.4.9 on a G4 Dual 1GHz "Quicksilver" with a USB 2.0 PCI card or plugged into the USB 1.1 keyboard; no software install needed. Supports the Bluetooth Headset profile for programs like iChat audio and I'm now using it with a Plantronics phone headset (not stereo headphones). It also works well for iSync with a phone.
Some other Bluetooth USB adapters that support headsets on Windows are not necessarily supported on Mac.
Customer Review: Great adapter!
Summary: 5 Stars
How could anyone give this adapter less than 4 or 5 stars??
I've been using this adapter with my PowerMac G5 ---- I decided to forego buying Apple's adapter, and once I realized that I made a mistake, I went ahead and grabbed this adapter
So far, I'm very pleased with its performance --- I've been using both a Logitech BT Mouse, as well as an Apple wireless keyboard with it ----- I've been very happy with the performance of both things ----- and the transfer time rates have been very fast
I will admit though - I think that the Apple adapter is better ----- but for the price, and the quality, this adapter can't be beat - I highly recommend it!
Customer Review: Does what I wanted it to.
Summary: 5 Stars
My work requires faxing from a clients home to the home office. Scanning the items and emailing them is faster and a lot cleaner. I can't always get a wifi hookup with the laptop, so I transfer the files (they are PDF files) to my smartphone and e-mail them on the 3G network. No need for the added expense of an aircard and it is quick. You do need an app called "bluethooth transfer file" on the smartphone ,I did anyway. It works with large documents, the largest I sent was a 30 page pdf. The file transferred to the phone in a matter of seconds and was emailed in less time.
I think the vendor was quick with the mail time and the item was packed very secure.
Customer Review: Works superbly with Nokia 3650 and iMac
Summary: 5 Stars
I noticed the users who rated this product poorly are using Windows machines. I have a new iMac and a Nokia 3650, and wanted to connect them. I simply ordered the Bluetooth adapter, plugged it into my USB on iMac and presto! No drivers to install, nothing to download. It just worked. Instantly. All I had to do was pair the two devices which took about 15 seconds and it has worked flawlessly ever since (I've been using it for about 3 months). I can even answer and place calls with my computer when the devices are paired. Of course, you can also buy Macs with bluetooth already installed internally which would be even easier (if that's possible!)Customer Review: On a Mac, just plug it in and it works!
Summary: 5 Stars
I think the booklet that comes with it says it all. For Windows, installation is a 5-page, multi-stage process that requires installing drivers. For Mac, it's basically one short paragraph: "plug it into a free USB port and it's ready to go." And that's exactly what happened on my G4 running OSX. I have the rev-B4 version. I recommend that Mac users go to the Apple site and download the firmware updates for the D-Link, along with those for the wireless Apple keyboard and mouse. It fixed some problems with waking a sleeping Mac by clicking on the mouse or keyboard (which didn't work prior to the firmware update). Now it works great.
