    why? the fastest possible data transfer in Bt is a small fraction of what even USB v2 is able to do.

    I am sorry, I don't know the specs of them. I just know that Bluetooth is used for wireless communication and usb is the interface between the computer and those invisible magical signals picked up by bluetooth device. I just thought now that USB 3.0 is available and bluetooth v4.0 is/will be available, some companies might have started selling them. hehe

    just buy a current gen Bt mini adapter for $10-. And in a few months/years get a newer one. If you need it.

    Speaking of, why do you need one now?

    That sounds like a good idea.

    I am planning on buying a laptop with 6300N and the laptop doesn't have bt. I don't want to get 6230 (which has bt). so I was asking about this.

    Thanks for the info.
