I'm looking for a bluetooth adapter for my iMac DV. It will be used together with my SonyEricsson T68i and iSync. The ones I find that promise Mac compability are IOGEAR and Keyspan. Has anyone tried either of these? What are your experiences? The IOGEAR one looks cheaper, and I'm not altogether pleased with the Keyspan drivers for their PDA adapter (prevents wake from sleep on occasion - and yes, I know that that's the reason), so it'll be IOGEAR unless I hear somehting different.

The one from the Apple store works fine.

Any USB bluetooth adapter. They're all fine. None should need drivers. If they do, they're not Bluetooth spec.

Unless you really believe in brand name stuff then you can save some money (to get Sailing clicker I guess ) by getting a cheap "no name" brand adapter.

I've heard a few problems with the Microsoft BT adapter - guess it's only made to work with their keyboard and mouse. Like anyone here would buy M$ anyway...

I have the Iogear BT Connector. Works great and comes with a USB extension. I have a Nokia 3650 and and syncs w/o a hitch.
