So, you probably got the latest cell phone with all the newest, coolest features. You got your GPS, umpteen megapixel camera, and of course bluetooth. Well, it is most commonly used for hooking up those wireless bluetooth headsets, but most people dont even think about using them with their computers. Well, most computers, even the newer ones, dont come with bluetooth unless you ask and pay for the buyup.
Well, I just recently bought a pretty sweet new dell desktop and thought I had got all the bells and whistles. I must have missed the bluetooth cause it aint there. Well, you can always go out and but an internal bluetooth card, hope you have an open expansion slot, and unless you know how to work on computers, you’re gonna have to pay the local “geek squad” an ungodly amount to install it for you. Anywho, the other option would be the external type of bluetooth connection. More specifically, the bluetooth usb dongle.
The nice thing about the bluetooth usb dongle is that they’re really cheap. We’re talking $5-$20 on ebay here people. I ended up going a different route, but if you gotta connect anything bluetooth to your computer then I would highly recommend going with a bluetooth usb dongle. Bluetooth is wireless communication technology, that connects computers, mobile phones and other electronic devices, enabling them to communicate short distances.
Bluetooth makes use of 2.4ghz radio waves, just like wireless routers and wireless access points. Due to protocol standardisation, Bluetooth devices can be built by assorted manufacturers, and usually can interconnect seamlessly. Bluetooth devices which can interconnect include personal computers, GPS, PDA, and mobile phones.
Bluetooth Dongles are small finger sized devices which plug into the personal computer USB ports. Further, a Bluetooth Dongle can enable PC’s to track GPS data, which makes creating travel maps a breeze, work diaries, exchanging business cards, and much more.
Advantages: Bluetooth enabled computers have the ability to transfer ringtones, files, mp3 songs, photos, and games for mobile phone. Simplicity: Thanks to modernisation in Windows XP, the operating system automatically detects Bluetooth hardware, and has drivers pre-installed for many devices. Connecting: To connect devices, just plug the Bluetooth USB Dongle into a free USB port on the computer. Then, switch on the mobile phone. Presto!
