They said I only argued for the sake of arguing, but after an hour I convinced them they were wrong...

RE: Very nice!
So now if they can just add functionality to use my Motorola bluetoth headset microphone for voice recording I'm there.
RE: Very nice!
I've tried to run it on my Zodiac and it crashed. Be careful and backup prior to installing. Hopefully they work out some of the bugs. I want to listen to audio on my Zodiac over BT headphones!
The world will end in 2006. Just as it was predicted in the bible along with the release of Microsoft Longhorn.... :p

RE: Bluetooth headphones
Why Palm has depended on 3rd parties to provide such a thing amazes me more. I'm not just whining b/c I want every feature known to man on a device. I'm talking marketing and pop-culture here.
Of course, the iPod has been a gigantic paradigm-shifting success. Every body that leaves home > 1/month knows that. But, this wireless MP3 opportunity seems to me like the ultimate form of "one-ups-manship". Why nobody (Palm or other) seems to have taken this seriously suprises me.
Just imagine where Palm could have been 1 year ago at the release of the LifeDrive. Maybe even right now! Market this as the next wave of mobile audio. "Don't stay bound to THE WIRE ... Be FREE". Bundle with (partner / develop in conjunction with) a wireless headset and offer a top-of-the-line option. The advertising options are endless. I could see a dancing sillouhette (sp?) listen to an iPod snagging the wire on something and breaking it ... then cut to ... LifeDrive or Treo or Z33 in the pocket and wireless freedom. + gaming + movies. Hey, commercials are not long enough to show the 27 minute battery life! :-)
This could steal some serious thunder, but nobody seems too motivated ... except Softick.

RE: Snap, Crackle, Pop
Anyone tried this?
Also, how on earth did they manage this? I thought it was a hardware or firmware problem. Since it's obviously neither of those, why the heck isn't this a standard feature on all Palms?

I'm sure things were easier before they became more simple

RE: Snap, Crackle, Pop
OK, I can't get more than 2 Meters away and ist starts to, uhuh...snap, crackle and pop. But I don't care, since I have my Treo in my pocket or on a table near me. It maybe the building in which I work. I'll test a lot of other instances.
Just always hated cable. This config is on it's (a)way...
RE: Snap, Crackle, Pop
Of course, as people have already noted, the audio only works as well as the Bluetooth connection allows. This protocol allows data loss since it's real time, and that means once you've got enough 2.4MHz noise, it's tough to get enough good data on the stream to the headset.
RE: Snap, Crackle, Pop
I was walking back home from work (yes I am one of the fortunate few) and had my Treo in my jacket pocket. It's icy cold here in Switzerland and just my leather jacket and my wollen cap were enough to break the transfer. I had to position the hangar in such a way, that it worked. Any position other than that brought interference. Maybe our district is loaded with too much Wifi, gsm, umts, and radar frequency (airport Basel-Mulhouse)
The actual problem I would think is the weak transfer that bluetooth has to offer (being a short range frequency), not so much the protocol within the software
Still I think it's OK. With the included dongle for my notebook it's still worth the while...y'all know: I just hate cables.

Bluetooth mic
I think there must be brigth minds working on it at the moment!
Doesn't really work on LifeDrive yet
Can you stream sound from your Palm TX to a Motorola HS850?
I downloaded the Audio Galaxy but wants to have A2DP devices! Which the Moto HS850 isn't! Any suggestions?
do you guys now of any driver that would stream the sound to my current headset?
any suggestions and comments, greatly appreatiated.
