Doesn't Work

By Red Gator (newegg.com)

I tried this device on two different iMac G5s multiple times, with the same result each time. If you have an older iMac G5, don't buy this product. If you have newer iMac, you don't need it because Bluetooth is already built-in.

It's a good idea. It just doesn't work with first generation iMac G5s

Great little reciever

By Scott (newegg.com)

If you're planning on using this with Blackberry Desktop, don't install the included drivers on the CD. Just plug the reciever in and let Windows take care of the drivers.

Very small. Vista drivers worked great. You could jsut leave it plugged in all the time on a laptop.

Bright blue LED. Put it on the back of your desktop.
