Hi list,

The title of the post is a little misleading, but I wasn't quite sure what to put. Are there any adapters available that allow you to plug in a usb device into a bluetooth transmitter/receiver?

For example, I'd like to use my wacom tablet wirelessly and was wondering if there is anything that would allow me to connect my tablet in the following way:

tablet (usb)->[bluetooth adapter] ------------- [bluetooth adapter][usb port on mac]

Does that makes sense?

The only reason I could think of why this would not work is because of power concerns. But assuming I found a way to power the tablet - would this work?

Thanks
