    Why not just buy a bluetooth dongle?

    I`d rather have a integrated solution for portability, No wires I hate wires lol :rolleyes: And I hate having to set things up everytime I want to use it.

    On the other hand I suppose I could use a external bluetooth bit for the time being and find out about the parts I need and if I could even add it. I think I should be able to add it, It has the button but just says no device when pushed. Thanks

    when your warranty runs out....

    if you really wanna have some fun you can do an internal USB dongle mod...
    my poor lil PC isn't worth the warranty so didn't wait :D

    i just solderd wires where USB PLUG connects to main board.. and ran wires to a USB HUB that i was able to fit inside (after removing case and covering hub w/ double sided foam tape to insulate and hold it in place....

    now i have USB always availible,, and 3 more internal USB ports available..

    here is where i got my inspiration...
