Connect your cell phone or PDA to your PC via wireless usb bluetooth transceiver adapter dongle and transfer ringtones, mp3’s, and 3gp videos!
This is a pretty quick tip, a neat little “bluetooth usb adaptor gadget” I came across the other day. I’ve still not come across many computers with built-in bluetooth connectivity, but nearly every cell phone has it. In our house people always want to get ringtones, mp3 songs, and cell phone mobile formatted 3gp videos from the laptop or one of our PC’s to their cell phone or PDA. Seems like we have a bunch of USB connection cords for these cell phones lying around – and we can never find the right one at the right time.
As I said – every cell phone we own has bluetooth built in, so the best solution would be to connect all the mobile devies via bluetooth. I found that you can get a “USB Bluetooth Tranceiver” dongle for a reasonable price, and the fact that it’s USB is great for us because we can move it to any system in the house. With gadgets, quicker, faster, and more efficient is the name of the game, and one of these is going to work great for us! Now I can throw all those USB connection cables away for good! You don’t have to buy a Belkin – there are many different brands that are affordable and work well with all cell phones (including Motorola, Nokia, etc.). I recommend the “MSI bluetooth dongle”. Most of them look just like a flash drive, in fact you may as well just call it a “bluetooth USB stick”! You shouldn’t need a bluetooth usb driver either, for most systems it should be plug and play.
The best prices I’ve seen for these are on eBay, and there are gobs of them <$10 including shipping. [nms:bluetooth usb,6,0,0,smorgas.bluetooth.usb]
