Newton Peripherals, the manufacturer of the acclaimed MoGo Mouse BT™ and the recently released Media Mouse X54TM and Presenter Mouse X54TM, announces the launch of the new MoGo Bluetooth Adapter™ into the UK market. The MoGo Bluetooth Adapter now makes it easier for over 250 million laptop users to use Bluetooth-enabled wireless devices.

MoGo Bluetooth Adapter is a fingernail-sized, “plug and forget” device that plugs into any laptop or tablet USB port. This Bluetooth Adapter uses Bluetooth standard v2.0 +EDR and USB 2.0 to deliver quicker connection times and up to three-times-faster data transfer speeds than v1.2 adapters, allowing your laptop to share data with Bluetooth-enabled PDAs, headsets, printers and other devices. The new adapter simply plugs in and virtually sits flush, without protruding like standard adapters. The MoGo Bluetooth Adapter now eliminates the need for bulky adaptors which need to be squeezed into a laptop bag while travelling.

The market for such a device is tremendous. Figures from IMS Research and the Bluetooth Special Interest Group indicate that there may be as many as 250 million older laptops still in daily use worldwide, without embedded Bluetooth support. The MoGo Bluetooth Adapter now enables owners of those laptops to use the award-winning MoGo Mouse BT and the recently released Media Mouse X54TM and Presenter Mouse X54TM, as well as other Bluetooth-enabled devices. More importantly, this MoGo Bluetooth Adapter essentially becomes an integrated part of the laptop, giving users one fewer device to misplace or lose.

“The MoGo Bluetooth Adapter is consistent with our brand objective of producing powerful and easy-to-use products that enable mobility on the go,” said Matt Westover, Newton Peripherals’ President and Chief Executive Officer. “Many laptop computer users refuse to use adapters of any kind, because they can catch, break off or become lost. As a result, they are not getting as much as they can from their mobile computing experience. This MoGo Bluetooth Adapter solves that challenge, and represents a significant step forward. We believe the ultra-low profile of the adapter will become the standard design for adapters of all kinds.”
