With all those Bluetooth USB Adapters that are out in the market, this is good overall adapter. Most computers today would detect this TBW-101UB Adapter and would not need to install the software for it. Once the adapter is installed and detected on the computer, the rest is pretty straight forward for those that know how to search devices in the My Bluetooth places. from Amazon.com The TRENDnet bluetooth adapter installs easily and has a nice interface for connecting your bluetooth devices. I use it for downloading pictures from our camera phone -- the process is simple and efficient. from Amazon.com The only issue I've encountered so far for this product is that the adapter is not yet compatible with Windows Vista. I'm sure it is a great product but have yet to use it because I'm waiting for TrendNet to release a driver for Vista. from Amazon.com When the answer came in it was complex. I returned the product. TRENDnet Bluetooth USB Adapter from Amazon.com TRENDnet Bluetooth USB Adapter was easy to install and configure. I was able to quickly connect to it using my Motorola H500 Bluetooth Headset, and to receive and make Skype calls. from Amazon.com I am actually using this Bluetooth adapter right now on my hp laptop. It works pretty great. I give it 3/5 because installing the drivers from Trendnet's website is rather a pain. The hardware gets a 5/5. from Amazon.com Apparently there are other reviewers who did not have the same problem with the software, so if you're considering buying this adapter, you'll have to take your chances. (PS: I have noticed that at least one reviewer found that the version of Bluetooth supported by the adapter was not compatible with the version on his phone. You should check Trendnet's website for exact specifications on each adapter--they make several--but the item featured here (TBW-101UB) supports Bluetooth 1.1 and 1.2 for Class II operations.) from Amazon.com I purchased the TRENDnet Bluetooth USB adapter to get a bluetooth headset I use for my cellphone to work on my PC as a Skype headset. from Amazon.com The software included with the Trendnet adapter installed easily and appears to be very capable. It took only seconds to pair my Win2000 PC with my Motorola e815. from Amazon.com I bought the TRENDnet adaptor instead of the D-Link adaptor which Apple supports, based on price and the reviews below. I'm using it on my PowerMac Dual 2ghz G5 to connect a Bluetooth Mighty Mouse. from Amazon.com
