hello,

any bluetooth usb device that conforms with the bluetooth specification 
v1.1 should work. bluetooth usb devices based on broadcom bluetooth chip 
may require firmware download. they will work, but you need to obtain 
firmware elsewhere. csr chip based devices usually work very well right 
out of the box. the following link may help you with your decision
