Bluetooth Shall Set You Wire-Free

If you're one of those people who thinks "a Bluetooth" just means "a handsfree earclip headset thing," your world is about to be deeply, passionately rocked. Keyboards, speakers, GPS: if it's got wires, Bluetooth can rip them out between its savage blue teeth.

the Motorola 89421N HX520 Oasis Bluetooth Headset is on Amazon for 13 cents more (including S&H) and would arrive at my door faster... I'm gonna label this a swing and a miss ... but of course, $5 all you can ship makes this a zero sum endeavor if you buy more than one item in a day... #IexpecteMoreFromYouWoot

Anyone know if this Bluetooth Mini Keyboard is compatible with Kindle Fire HD?

almost certainly yes, if it is also bluetooth compatible with android 2.3 and higher, which the spec sheet seems to say. I don't own either, so I can't say that I know from experience.

Regarding the Grandmax SPKR-M3BT Tweakers Microbeat Portable Wireless Speaker with Bluetooth Technology turns out Amazon has the identical item for $23 and eligible for prime (or free shipping if you add another $2.04 item to your cart). Pretty disappointing.

I don't have the Kindle, but I do have the keyboard.. It has connected just fine to a gTablet, Xperia S tablet, Sager Laptop, IBM desktop and an HP210 PocketPC. I'd bet it would work with the Kindle.

HALP!!

mY ANDROID PHONE...oops, caps-sorry unlocked. I'd love this for tired nights (every night) for my android phone-

as you may have guessed, there is no disc drive for the CD with info on it to whiiiirrrrrrrr slip into phone.

What to do!? Mockery is understandable, maybe /HL to indicate ending hearty laughter.

Ciao! Gracias!

I wonder if this will work for my Note 2.

I used Blackberry's and the Samsung Blackjack for years because it could allow me to text while drive without looking down at my phone since I remembered where all the physical keys were.

I bought the Samsung Note 2 about 3 weeks ago and I love it but unfortunately since it's a touchscreen it's not worth trying to text and drive with it.

I assume you just sync it via bluetooth like you would any other bluetooth device?

Oh. Well that would be great, huh?

I guess something in my head got stuck on a notion that there was a CD install of a program.

But typing that out & seeing it- my assumptions were pretty ummmm, 1997?

Well, GFedrr- my gratitudes and appreciations for your brain, as well as it's personality framework 'n such,

Didn't work for me. Mine says "paired but not connected" and the phone doesn't recognize any keypresses. Any other ideas?

Well the picture of hte CD says its drivers for Windows Mobile and Nokia OS users.

It should work like any other regular bluetooth device but maybe contact the company RED STAPLER!

Does anyone have any direct feedback on the Affinity Soundbox? The reviews seem hard to come by out there. It seems "deal" sites are awash in these devices so I suspicious they are not that good.

Anyone know how to get Windows 7 to see the Grandmax BT speaker as an actual speaker? It registers as a BT headset, but can't do anything with it. Cannot get it to play any sounds
