Bluetooth Headset for Audio Gateway

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Using a Motorola HS850 with an Audiovox PPC6600. Works perfectly for phone
calls but I'm looking for a way to make it work for listening to MP3s and
other audio output.

Motorola says it won't do that. Hacks I've found pertain to Windows CE but
my phone is Windows Mobile. I'm not sure if I should try them.

Anybody know if this is a deficiency in the BT profile, BT stack, Windows
OS?

I am a newbie.

Thanks for that.

What are my options if I want to get all that noise in my ear? I don't see
why they would port all the sound the device makes to a wired headset when
plugged into the jack, but not a BT headset. Power management?

So HP took a different approach. That's interesting. I hear a lot of
requests from people with other PPCPE devices that want to listen to music
or e-books through the headset. Neither of my Smartphones work that way
either. I would expect the reasoning is power on the headset. If you are
listening that is essentially into your talk time.
