[WiiFlash] Do i need bluesoleil?

[Merrill, Jason]

The Kensington I use is just called the Kensington Bluetooth USB dongle - they only make one, last I checked.  

However Michael found that the Targus does automatic connection to Bluetooth signals, whereas the Kensington has to be setup manually each time you start your computer.  We're still evaluating the Targus model.
