This adapter works fine to transfer files to Tracfone LG600g phone. Would work well with other devices too. Haven't tried for distance as I have it by tne main computer. The only speedbump is entering the password when pairing devices.
I hoped to use this on Skype with my older Macintosh and a bluetooth headset. Iogear's specifications indicate that you can use this product with Mac 10.3.9 and above and with headsets, **but** while you can use this product on a Mac and I suspect with headsets on a PC, you can't use this device to connect your headset to your Mac. After getting "your bluetooth hardware does not support headsets" in both OS 10.3.9 and 10.4.11, I searched the net and found out there's no fix for this situation. If you are running Tiger and have USB-2, your best bet, according to my net research, is a D-Link dongle which has a much more limited range and may have to have an Apple firmware updater applied.
Bought this to sync a Palm Tungsten E2 with a Windows Vista 64 bit computer (which doesn't allow USB sync). Setup wasn't that difficult, and it works just fine since then. Be sure to go to Palm's website for the latest software.
Product stated that it worked for a 64 bit windows vista computer, but it didn't. Technical support from IOGEAR couldn't help. The website shows that it works for both 32 bit and 64 bit systems , but it only works for 32 bit. Do not buy.
I tried this model after the lesser model (GBU221) crashed my system. Unfortunately, I got the same resuts - "blue screen of death".system crash. Until the crash of my Toshiba laptop with Vista Home, this model did have a slightly better range than the GBU221. At least Amazon has a decent return policy.
