Bluetooth USB 2.0 Adapter [Posted on 2007-06-08]
Needed to upgrade my Mac PowerBook G4 with Bluetooth. I've used Kensington products before on the MAC. Great choice, product worked right out of the box, just put it in the USB port and it worked, no need to run CD or download any software.
Definitely more than expected [Posted on 2007-07-08]
I was looking for a Bluetooth 2.0 device, and I have always been a big fan of bluetooth - however fan and user experience has been spotty at best. Finally, a device that can do well in multiple environments (sync with Palm, bluetooth headset, and use a mouse). I was just looking for it for my VoIP application, but it more than delivered. It actually worked with multiple vendors (Plantronics, Microsoft, and Palm) - a rarity in this day and age. Now if they could just take this technology and embed it into my laptop.....I would be a happy guy.
NOT RECOMMENDED [Posted on 2007-09-05]
I bought the KENSINGTON 33348 BLUETOOTH USB 2.0 ADAPTER thinking that was an excellent choice for a TOSHIBA A205 S4777 NOTEBOOK (which is without Bluetooth: what a shame). But this device never works with my IOGEAR USB 2.0 PRINTER ADAPTER. The Iogear technicians told me that their device was able to run or work with any Bluetooth devices in the market, and believe me that it is true. The technician from KENSINGTON never resolved my problem, I sent several communications that were answered very fast, I sent all my notebook file "mycomputerinfo" to Kensington for research and they are doing it now, looking for the problem or researching my technical case. For me as a senior Engineer I believe that Kensington has a really bad software for that USB Bluetooth device that works or run with windows vista 32 bit. They need to make a complete research with the new software. When I bought the Bluetooth it came with all the software for all windows OS except for Visa OS which I have had to download from their web page (the drivers for vista for the usb kensington bluetooth). I recommend this product for all users of Windows XP and also other versions with 32 bits. BUT THIS DEVICE "KENSINGTON USB BLUETOOTH" IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR WINDOWS VISTA USERS EVEN DOWNLOADING THE UPDATE THEY HAVE FOR VISTA. IT DO NOT RUN OR WORK WITH MY IOGEAR USB PRINTER DEVICE 2.0. SO, NOT COMPATIBLE FOR ALL VISTA USB BLUETOOTH DEVICES: NOT RECOMMENDED. I RETURNED the device YESTERDAY NIGHT TO THE SELLER THROUGH THE EXCELLENT SERVICE OF AMAZON. BY THE WAY the technicians of kensington were excellent in attention and fast. But the product is not ok I think that it is for the software. I hope this will help to everyone. Regards,

Works excellent with my Bluetooth headset Plantronics Voyager 510. Easy installation. If you need a driver for Vista it is available on Kensington official web site.
Made my Mac Bluetooth ready [Posted on 2008-01-28]
This adapter is easy and does just what it advertises. Now my Mac and cell phone can talk to each other, just for a start.
