I searched but didn't see this posted already. Frys.com has an Interlink Electronics VP6494 USB bluetooth adapter for $18 + tax - $15 rebate + free shipping, but it isn't in stock yet and will ship later. The rebate expires on 7/10/08. Basically if you want bluetooth on your cheap bluetooth-less laptop, just plug this little thingy into a USB port. It protrudes about a 1/4 inch (ie. barely noticeable).

Good deal, if you don't want to wait for a rebate and can stand to wait a week or two for delivery:

$4.91 - size of a USB thumbdrive
$5.98 - slightly larger than the OP

Rebate is in-house from the manufacturer

"Sorry, the item is sold out" for me.

Finally... able to preorder. In for 1. Thx OP.

I ordered one a few days back. It goes on and off stock, so keep checking....

I just got mine yesterday, and it's pretty cool.

If you pull the trigger, be sure to download the rebate form at the same time. I was trying to find the form for 6 July, but it does not seem to be anywhere. (This is a July 5 special!). The new one covers the date in my "acknowledgement" email (sent later in the week), so I'm crossing my fingers....

Happy hunting!

I wonder if you can get more than one? The rebate form does not state a specific limit.

Nevermind - Frys website says 1 per Household. You would think the rebate form would say that.

Outstanding! Thanks a million. I'll save it in case my submission hits a snag.

Can I do in-store pick up? Shouldn't void the rebate right since I did order it from frys.com? I'm just concerned about the pre-order thing, what if it doesn't ship for a few weeks and the rebate is due in 30 days? Also, does Frys.com put the ship date or order date on their invoice?

To buy or not to buy? Decisions, decisions...

It would only be ethical of them to allow us to cancel our orders if they can't get the merchandise to us in time for us to submit the rebate. Someone already received their order, so I'm banking on the assumption that it will be just a matter of a few extra days. I guess we'll see.
