Thanks, I've ordered one of these. I still find it a bit frustrating that I've not been able to discover a recommended-by-Apple hardware specification for what devices are supported. Attempting to use different hardware by trial-and-error doesn't seem like an efficient way to proceed, especially since it appears that the host OS is capable of using Bluetooth 4.0 USB devices that the simulator cannot.
