George - I get the picture, many thanks. Now, does this mean I can go ahead and buy any kind of dongle from anywhere, and it will work with whatever Bluetooth headset I buy? - Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: "George Bell" <george@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, November 13, 2007 10:29 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Bluetooth dongles | Hi Andy, | | Bluetooth dongles, usually these days a USB device, have | become fairly generic. | | To try and put it in layman's terms, they are sort of like a | transmitter receiver that can communicate with a similar | device. | | However, the difference is that they each send out a unique | signal, but in such a way that they can be "paired". | | So what basically happens is that the two devices see each | other, and one says, "I'm device ABC" will you talk to me? | | The other device says "I'm device XYZ and I can see device | ABC", do you (Andy, the computer user) want to let me talk | to (or pair with) ABC?) | | You say yes, and Bob's your uncle. | | George. | | -----Original Message----- | From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx | [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Andy Collins | Sent: 13 November 2007 20:29 | To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx | Subject: [access-uk] Bluetooth dongles | | Hi all - | | This is a new area for me. | | I believe I need a Bluetooth dongle for my pc, in order to | use a Bluetooth | headset chordlessly.
