multiple bluetooth devices at same time

[Connor]

I'm interested in knowing if a bluetooth device connected to a computer can connect to more than one bluetooth device at the same time, such as a bluetooth mouse and bluetooth headset simultaneously. My main reason for asking is to keep from using my two usb ports on my Thinkpad R40 for the two devices mentioned. I would like to keep one of the usb ports open for a pen drive which I use fairly often.

Thanks for the replys,

Connor
