    New PowerPro in just a few days!!!

    Just wondering if anyone has experience with bluetooth mice. I'm looking at this one from Radtech: http://www.radtech.us/Products/BT600.aspx
    It has an easy USB charger and a good range.

    I also would like a bluetooth headset for google talk. Any experience with such? Radtech has one of those as well: http://www.radtech.us/Products/BT400G5.aspx

    I'm new to bluetooth, I think you can use more than one device at the same time...

    I just got a Compal Hel80 from Power Notebooks.com. I am using the Logitech VX Revolution, and it is fantastic - USB dongle, true, but all the features, size, and battery life make it a no brainer - expensive, but if I lost it I'd buy another immediately - probably gonna switch to the desktop version on my home computer. Highly recommended.

    I just got a Motorola HT-820 bluetooth headset, for listening to music only, although you can pair your cell phone (if bluetooth capable) to the headset and use it's controls for both phone and music. There were some difficulties configuring with the Bluetooth adapter, but it got sorted out through PowerNotebooks's Tech support, who went all out to help me.
