Bluetooth, for those of you who do not know, is the name of an 802.11 "personal" network standard. With a data transfer rate of up to 1Mbps and a range of 10 or 100 meters, Bluetooth is not a competitor of Wi-Fi. Rather, it is poised to replace IR and RF wireless devices and make general low bit rate devices like printers and keyboards wireless. To give you a sample of what Bluetooth can do, this review will be looking at the BT210 USB printer adapter and BT009X USB adapter from Bluetake Technology.</p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/bluetooth/01.jpg"><img src="atruereview/bluetooth/01th.jpg" width="250" height="247" border="0" alt="Bluetake Bluetooth BT210 USB Printer Adapter & BT009X USB Adapter " title="Bluetake Bluetooth BT210 USB Printer Adapter & BT009X USB Adapter "></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p>Some of you may see similarities between Bluetake's company logo and name to Thermaltake. That is not purely coincidental for Bluetake is a sister company of Thermaltake. While Thermaltake specializes in cases, PSUs, and coolers; Bluetake, as the name might suggest, specializes in Bluetooth products.</p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/bluetooth/01bt.jpg"><img src="atruereview/bluetooth/01btth.jpg" width="250" height="213" border="0" alt="Bluetake Bluetooth BT210 USB Printer Adapter & BT009X USB Adapter " title="Bluetake Bluetooth BT210 USB Printer Adapter & BT009X USB Adapter "></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p><b>Packaging:</b></p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/bluetooth/03.jpg"><img src="atruereview/bluetooth/03th.jpg" width="250" height="255" border="0" alt="Bluetake Bluetooth BT210 USB Printer Adapter & BT009X USB Adapter"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p>The BT210 and BT009X are each packaged in full colored retail cardboard boxes. The front of the BT210's box has a Bluetake company logo in the top left corner and the product's name below it. Below that is a list of the BT210's features and a picture of the adapter. The left side of the box has the same feature listing as on the front. The top of the box has a brief introduction to the BT210 and the back of the box has the specifications list. Inside, the Bluetooth and AC adapters are held in place by indents of the internal cardboard frame.</p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/bluetooth/02bt.jpg"><img src="atruereview/bluetooth/02btth.jpg" width="250" height="220" border="0" alt="Bluetake Bluetooth BT210 USB Printer Adapter & BT009X USB Adapter"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p>The front of the BT009X also has its company name in the top left corner and the product's name below it. Below that is a list explaining what the Bluetooth adapter can do. The left side of the box has a list of the minimum system requirements and a list of the contents. The right side of the box has the same listing as the front of the box and the back of the box has the BT009X's specifications list.
