Most new laptops have built-in Bluetooth these days, but if yours doesn’t, you might want to get what CallPod introduced on Thursday, theDrone. The Drone is not a regular Bluetooth adapter. It’s a high-powered device that offers a range of up to 300 feet; that’s 10 times the range of regular Bluetooth devices. Designed mainly for audio purposes, once plugged in, the Drone is recognized by a computer as a speaker. The Drone’s built-in firmware then streams the computer’s audio feed to Bluetooth headsets or speakers. For this reason, the device is perfect for computer-based VoIP calling, and works with Skype, right out of the box. If you are listening to music when a Skype call arrives, the Drone automatically switches over the the call.
