[PCWorks] How do you get a USB Bluetooth adapter to work with an Android tablet?

I recently got a really tiny USB Bluetooth adapter for my 
tablet so I could use BT devices with it.  It's like the size 
of a thumbnail.  The reviews on the webpage were saying things 
like "works with my Android tablet", etc., so I got it.  But it 
does absolutely nothing when I plug it into my tablet.  Doesn't 
even light up.  When I plug it into my XP PC, it's recognized 
and installed, so I know it works.

Am I missing something here?  Is there something I need to do 
so the tablet will recognize it?  Or is it not supposed to do 
anything until you have some kind of BT device active?  I don't 
have any yet, I first had to find out if the adapter would 
work.

The speaker on the tablet is a joke and useless, so I was 
hoping to maybe use wireless BT speakers with it so I wouldn't 
be tethered to wired speakers.  But FAIK BT speakers may 
already come with a BT adapter. ?

Thanks,
