I have read on a few forums that you cannot use a bluetooth headset and mouse at the same time. Can anyone confirm if this is true or untrue? I have a asus z70va with built in bluetooth and the main reason I got the built in module was for the purpose of using a headset, mouse and gps at once. If anyone could confirm it, it would help me on deciding which to purchase.
Thanks
Andy

"Communication & Connection
A Bluetooth device playing the role of the "master" can communicate with up to 7 devices playing the role of the "slave". This network of "group of up to 8 devices" (1 master + 7 slaves) is called a piconet.
At any given time, data can be transferred between the master and 1 slave; but the master switches rapidly from slave to slave in a round-robin fashion. (Simultaneous transmission from the master to multiple slaves is possible, but not used much in practice). Either device may switch the master/slave role at any time.
Bluetooth specification allows connecting 2 or more piconets together to form a scatternet, with some devices acting as a bridge by simultaneously playing the master role in one piconet and the slave role in another piconet. These devices have yet to come, though are supposed to appear next year (2007)."

You should be able to connect it with no problems. The only bad thing that i've heard about BT headphones is that you can't go very far from the laptop, and the battery life isn't the best.
