We got the Belkin Bluetooth PCMCIA card for my wife's Powerbook, before realizing that OS X does not yet support Bluetooth through PCMCIA.

I was wondering if anyone knows when support might be forthcoming --- if there's a chance that it will be in 10.3, we might hold on to the card instead of returning it.

I have no idea, but since Apple's new models have it built in and they do already have the USB adapter available, my guess is that it's not a real high priority. And yes, I understand that using a PC-card has advantages over a USB dongle.

I really hope support happens in the near future. One would hope they don't ignore current users, this is something I'd snatch up in a second.
