More specifically this is a Bluetooth smartcard (or CAC card) reader. They are initially paired via a tethered cable and then used wirelessly.
The connected device must have Bluetooth, of course, and the program authenticating to it must support the reader. There are two NSA approved Bluetooth smartcard readers of this type: RIM's and a company called Apriva has the other one (yes the company working on the SME PED) http://iss.apriva.com/products_reader.aspx Regards; Bryan ------------------------------------ Mobile Armor Bryan E.

I was searching for a device that automatically locks a computer if the authorized users steps away from the computer. I found one at: http://www.dlock.com.tw/pc_lock_timer.htm It seems decent, but I have never heard of the company before. Has anyone used this product before? Do you know of any similar products from a more reputable vendor?
