Ottawa Canada Dear Shaz and list:
Things to consider when connecting two items are reliability and convenience. A wired connection is always more reliable than a wireless one. However using Blue Tooth for the connection may save you running half a mile of connecting cable around the perimeter of your room or wherever the Mpower is located. If your Mpower and Mountbatten Brailler seldom travel, then go the USB route. If your Mpower travels with you to/from work, play, school etc., you may find Blue Tooth the more convenient way to connect them. No wires to tangle, kink, get chewed by the cat, dog or pet Salt Water Crocodile. No connectors to fiddle with bend or break pins in. Infra Red is like Blue Tooth only for relatively short distances and line-of-sight. It also has problems with direct sunlight overwhelming the infrared signal from your Mpower. For these reasons, Infrared is generally the worst choice for wireless connectivity. Hope this helps. Think what you are looking for as a Blue Tooth to Parallel converter is known as a Blue Take.
