when I first plugged it in, osx detected it right away (but im a little confused as to why it was installed as a Serial Adapter). i went to install Remote Buddy. anyway the problem is that i was only able to pair my PS3 remote for about a minute and it would disconnect. i then tried pairing my HTC Touch, and it would pair and then disconnect as well. System Profiler says it's a Cambridge Silicon adapter. no driver cd was included.

booted up windows, bluetooth drivers were automatically installed, detected PS3 remote, installed Intelliremote. was able to use launch programs with the remote. rebooted into windows and bluetooth driver gets corrupted and was unable to reinstall!

so should i stay from cheap $2 dongles and get this one instead? it says it's mac compatible.
