If computer cables are giving you problems then go cordless. Weighing next to nothing and small enough to fit in the palm of your hand is the Bluetooth USB Adaptor from Billionton.

Bluetooth technology allows cordless, secure communication via radio waves between devices such as mobile phones, PCs, portable handheld devices, camcorders and printers, just to name a few.

Imagine being able to set up a small local network to host a meeting where files, appointments and business cards can be exchanged.

The Billionton Bluetooth Adpator is unobtrusive and simple to operate. Once the software is installed, just plug in the unit and file transfer is almost immediate (over a 10m distance). Each unit displays its own name and security to distinguish it from other Bluetooth devices.

One advantage Bluetooth has over infrared technology is that you don’t have to aim the two gadgets at each other. Once the two units are in range, they find and connect to each other.

Compatible with Windows 98 and later and MAC OS X Version 2, the Billionton Bluetooth Adaptor is available from Laptop Computing at www.lap topc@hotkey.net.au or phone (02) 9281 2624. For further information visit www.billionton.com

Cost: $169.
