ASUS WL-BT201M Bluetooth dongle
Asus has a brand new Bluetooth dongle for your laptops and desktops. The Asus WL-BT201M Bluetooth dongle, fully compatible with Bluetooth 2.0+EDR (enhanced data rate) provides for high speed communication with other EDR devices.
One of the conveniences offered by the WL-BT201M is that you can pair a laptop with your cell phone and send SMS messages right from the laptop - which means no more typos in your messages. This is very useful for people with fat fingers (namely me).
What's more, your cell phone's Internet plan can be tapped with the Bluetooth dongle - so you don't have to go in search of Wi-Fi hotspots. You can also enjoy stereo music over compatible Bluetooth headphones.
