I need a super cheap bluetooth switch.

E.g. some way for my phone to turn on/off something like a light using BT.

As we all know, BT-Modules cost $50+ which is absurd considering a BT-dongle costs $1.95.

Anyone got any leads on a cheap solution for me?

thanks

Yes, in fact. iChat has a suspicious “Connect to Bluetooth headset” menu item (requires a Mac).

well, technically it already has been. newer (ie smaller) ones are already out there. that model sold for 70 bucks, the newer ones are 120. the fact that amazon is reportedly offering the same price means it is like to be a manufacturers’ discount. i have herd the plantronics explorer beats it hands down on quality, but it doesn’t look as cool.

Thanks for that info, formatc! Luckily, I live in Boston, so I can probably find some used ones at the MIT SwapFest. (Yay, SwapFest!)

Do you know if these headsets are being replaced by a new Motorola model or something?

Damm and to think I paid $100 for mine when I bought my new phone! I don’t even use it anymore, but I was thinking that if it charges over a USB connector maybe it has software hacking potential?

As a RadioShack employee this bluetooth headset is on sale till the 17th. If that store is out, ask them to Direct2U the item to you. That means you pay for it in the store and we ship it to you for free (3-5 business days).
