BlueTake BT500 Bluetooth Mouse & BT009X Adaptor
What is Bluetooth?
Bluetooth is a standard that has been developed by a group of electronics
manufacturers. It is based on a low-cost, short-range radio link, Bluetooth can
connect many types of digital devices such as computers and mobile phones,
without a single cable in sight - giving you more freedom to roam about freely.
As Bluetooth utilizes a radio-based link, it does not require a line-of-sight
connection in order to communicate with devices... something needed when using
an Infra-red connection (IrDA). You could be using your laptop in one room and
send a document to print, to the printer in another room some distance away.
To establish a connection, two Bluetooth-equipped devices simply have to come
within a 10 meter range of each other.
