I bought a bluetooth 2.0 usb interface (adapter?) from
The Warehouse (the aus version, i havent been in nz yet this
year) and for my $19.95 it 'just worked' in linux
Keep in mind im running debian sid on an ibook, so
'just worked' means that the kernel etc loaded the right
drivers, but then i had to dig up how to use bluetooth
(obexserver and friends. although i have another now-dead
bluetooth usb adapter so i didnt need research this time)
So yeah, for $20 you can play fun games with your pda/phone
or whatever in linux. Cheapest bluetooth i have seen yet.
