Wow. USB devices can’t get much smaller than that. Pretty awesome.

Very cool, and I also LOVE the small form factor! This means less chance of damage being pluged into the back of my laptop! Very sweet! Thanks for the head’s up

Hi Nick
I am not sure I checked the manufacturers page and it only says Mac OSX and Windows

If you’re using Linux you should be able to code your own drivers

It is great not having to unplug it, if I did not have blue tooth built in to mu tablet, I would get this.

Hi Thor

There are very few bluetooth chipsets on the planet, so chances are yes it will work in Linux.
Oh, and just for the record, Linux supported Bluetooth way before Windows or OSX

Why is it only USB 1.1 compliant and not USB 2?
February 11th, 2008 at 4:01 pm
Err Ed… you don’t need USB 2 for a device that doesn’t need a 5V energy supply and operates at just 723 kbit/s
