    Hi all,
    hope this is the correct forum to post this in...

    I was alittle bored today and fanced moding my usb bluetooth stick (iogear) to see how small I could make it for my Acer one.

    Anyhow after ripping off the plastic cover and cutting the pcb down I reduced its size by 6mm pertrusion to 2mm!

    First I removed the etched on ariel (cut the board) before replacing this ariel with one strand of very fine wire along the edge of the pcb sealing it in place with some epoxy.

    To my suprise it still works - though the range has dropped off (but still usable) and almost looks flush with the Acer one now.

    I'm wondering now if this is the smallest usb bluetooth device?

    Cheers.
