    I'm going to be getting a Bluetooth card for my I9300, and I want to get some goodies to go with it.

    1) Bluetooth Mouse - I know there's a big topic on this already, but I just want omething simple that has no charging cradle. Preferably just the mouse, without a USB dongle at all, if it'll save a few bucks.

    2) Bluetooth Ear-somethings - I don't know when Bluetooth earbuds will be a reality, but something smaller than those gigantic headphones Dell sells would be nice.

    3) Bluetooth (or some other form of wireless) TV tuner - I know it sounds weird, but If there's any way I could get signal from my DirecTV box in the next room without wires, I may actually put down money for it. I already use my I9300 as a DVD player and stereo, so I guess a TV is the next logical step, eh?

    4) Bluetooth PDA - Now what I really want is a Sony VAIO U750P, but since that's probably a bit outside of my price range, an $200-$300 Dell Axim-stlye PDA would be my next choice. I'd be willing to plop down a bit more for something more powerful than the $40 Sharp Wizard something-or-other I have now. I'm not really up with everything going on in the handheld world, but I'd really like this to take the place of an MP3 player, so I'd need about 1Gb of storage (either on the unit itself or in extra flash memory card ).

    Reccomendations, anyone?

    1) That's why I used the mSFT mouse, no cradle.
    2) HP, Logitech, Toshiba and others have these and more are coming.
    3) Great idea, but not out there yet.
    4) Now is not a good time to buy a PDA...
