Being the Bluetooth neophyte that I am, I'm not sure what the full implications of this are, but it sounds like a step in the right direction - I don't know that any of the Pocket PC Bluetooth products I've seen support audio, which means using wireless headphones is out. This may solve that.
"Impulsesoft Pvt. Ltd. a leading short-range wireless solutions provider today announced the release of their Bluetooth™ Protocol Stack for Pocket PC, BlueCE™ with support for audio applications. BlueCE™ enables any Pocket PC based handheld device to transfer audio as well as data with other Bluetooth™ devices like headsets and mobile phones. The first available stack with audio support for Pocket PC, BlueCE™ helps device manufacturers to bring wireless voice and data capability to their PDAs and hand held devices.
With the convergence of data and voice-based services, device manufacturers are combining the best of personal digital assistants with a mobile phone. BlueCE™ will help these PDA – Phone combo devices add Bluetooth™ wireless capability to exchange data with other devices, to browse the internet and check email and to connect to any Bluetooth™ headset to stream music files. It is a complete off the shelf product, which can add Bluetooth™ functionality to any Pocket PC based product in the market."
