According to Lego "Supported Bluetooth software are WidcommR Bluetooth
for Windows newer than v. 1.4.2.10 SP5 and the Bluetooth stacks included
in Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 2 / Apple MacOS X 10.3.9 and
10.4." In trying to get Bluetooth working with a NXT it would be a wise
bet to assume this means "We've only tested using these stacks". So if
you're having problems with a BT adaptor, you may need to change the
device driver to use these generic drivers rather than an 'enhanced'
version supplied by the hardware manufacturer.

find it using the NXTG software - so this one doesn't work on Mac.

What are other folks experiences?

I have a Targus BT mouse Model MOBT90UO. It no workie.  I've been trying
for the
past few days inside and out, no dice.  It's commonly available at Best
Buy.
The mouse works fine and the usb adapter claims to have all the major
profiles
on it, but the NXT just won't work. I'm hoping for somebody out there to
have
gotten theirs to work....
