Is it easy/possible to swap the bluetooth card that came as standard on my 12" PB into my TiBook as it would be way more useful there or should I stop being a skinflint and spring for an adapter - don't really want to bother with plugging/unplugging etc.

The internal Bluetooth module in the 12" PB does not have a standard USB connector. It is a small mounted circuit board in the bottom of the case with a small 4-pin connector attached to the MLB. An antenna wire is attached to it that goes to the Airport antennae in the top case (Airport and BT share the antennae). This Bluetooth module is not usable anywhere except in the 12" Powerbook.
