Wow. Seems like a good deal to me. Thanks for the heads up!

The higher power one is basically useless. It offers USB 2.0 and a 100m range as opposed to the cheaper one, which uses USB 1.1 and has a 10m range. However, BT is capped at 723 kb/s anyways, so there's no reason for USB 2.0, and no one has a BT device that can be used 100m away anyways. Go with the cheaper one and save $2.

Just recieved mine today; the reviews are right, the blinking LED on it can get pretty damn annoying if you leave it plugged in.

Not true, I do have devices that I use that rely on the greater range offered by the 100m model. Another advantage is starting with BT 1.2, the interference between WiFi and BT was virtually eliminated, so I would recommend paying a little more for the 100m model. The higher powered model also DOES improve the range of the Axim, even though the Axim only has a 10m radio.

They're both 1.2.
