I just brought a SD card for my Tungsten T. And I am syncing some MP3s over to my SD. Right now I am doing it through the cradle and it is terribly slow.

So I am wondering, would Syncing it through the Bluetooth adapter be any faster in transfering these files?

If so I might just get one of them bluetooth mouse.

Another note, is it the transfer that is slow or just writing it on to the SD card that is slow?

Thanks in advance

It's been my experience that Bluetooth is considerably slower than USB, so that wouldn't be the best plan. You might consider a separate USB memory card reader (or even a firewire one if they have one that will work with SD cards). Copying the files directly instead of during a hotsync seems to be faster.
