FastMac adds Bluetooth to Mac minis

updated 08:40 am EST, Mon November 6, 2006

Bluetooth for Mac Minis


FastMac today began shipping its plug-and-play internal Bluetooth upgrade kit for PowerPC-based Mac Mini systems. The upgrade adds Bluetooth functionality to the Mac mini without the need to add an AirPort card, boasting an operating range of up to 32 feet with transfer rates of up to 721Kbps. The upgrade is user-installable with instructions included, connecting directly to the main logic board of the Mac to free up port space. FastMac's Bluetooth upgrade kit is available from $50 with a 1-year warranty, and works with all versions of Mac OS X -- including Mac OS X 10.5 "Leopard." The company is also offering a 24-hour installation service for an additional $50, picking up the Mac mini to install the upgrade kit and provide a thorough checkup as well as a light cleaning before shipping the unit back within 24 hours.

    aurport = bluetooth?

    "without the need to add an AirPort card". So normally you need to have an Airport card to get bluetooth?
