Well since I just bought the Sony Ericsson T68i, I needed to get a Bluetooth USB adaptor. Since the D-link was late and $40+ I looked on Ebay and found plenty in the $20 range and if you are patient, you can get them for less. Almost all of the sellers completely rip you off on shipping, but you still get them a bit cheaper. ($10 s/h on a 1oz item is a bit much) I have seen the Mistumi adaptors go for $20 + $8 s/h, which isn't bad, but I didn't have the patience for that.

None of them say they work with Macs, nevermind OS X, but I took a shot on a Windigo adaptor that matches my new iBook. I can't imagine that it won't work for me, but I'll let you all know in a few days.

Cool. Kind of kills the suspense, but cool. How nerdy am I that I care about color coodination?

Well I got it. It works perfectly just as Diggy said it would.

Kind of funny, yet another thing that works seamlessly with Macs, yet isn't mentioned anywhere on the product literature. You think they would spent the incredibly small amout of money it would take to note it works with OS X.
