Does anyone know if the TT and/or Real Player will support Bluetooth enabled headphones? It seams logical that the TT would support wireless headphones.

Word on the street is that this won't be possible. I don't know why, personally, but I can speculate:
Palm's bluetooth stack might not support the profile. There are very few Bluetooth HiFi stereo headsets out there. I myself have only found 1 manufacturer. I suspect its because compression is required to support high quality streaming audio over an 800KB pipe. It may be that a streaming audio profile isn't even available with the current bluetooth spec.
I'd sure like to find out more though. Anybody got any links I can follow to learn more about the bluetooth stack and it's implementation on the TT?

Sleuth,
Thanks for the feedback. Sound like you know what you are talking about. It would have been great functionality if would work.

Like I said, its speculation. But I am working to find out the facts. I too am very interested in a wireless stereo bluetooth headset configuration. I'll post here if I uncover anything.

Apparently, the bluetooth stack needs to be tweaked with a new profile called the Advanced Audio Distribution Profile. Here's a link to a June 20th article on this:
Bluetooth tweaked for consumer audio/video apps (http://www.commsdesign.com/story/OEG20020620S0046)
Techheads can get the details on this profile here (http://www.bluetooth.org/specifications.htm).
Scroll down to the additional profile specifications section; it's in PDF format.
It would seem that these devices won't appear until 2003. At any rate, a PalmOS upgrade would be required to support this IMO, perhaps even different hardware.
2003 looks like a fun filled year!:D

Finally someone who has done his dd. Thanx sleuth. Very nice job.
There are already a few Bluetooth Stacks (impulsesoft, widcomm....) with these new audio profiles so products will follow soon. It's a matter of time. Other new profiles are worked on (see bluetooth.org link of sleuth). Some examples.....
November:
-Bluetooth SIG 0.7 verison of the WAP over PAN Bluetooth Profile (11/02) The PAN Working Group has released version 0.7 of its WAP over Bluetooth Profile specification, including Test Specifications version 0.5 for review.
-Bluetooth SIG Common ISDN Access Profile 1.0 (CIP) IP Review Period (11/02) The ISDN Working Group hereby announces the release of the Common ISDN Access Profile 1.0 draft. With this release of this draft, the final 45 day IP review period for the Common ISDN Access Profile 1.0 (CIP) has begun. The review period starts, 27 November 2002 and ends on 11 January 2003.
-Bluetooth SIG SD HCI Transport Specification and 3 Wire UART HCI Transportation Version 0.7 (11/02) The HCI Working Group has released version 0.7h of its HCI PCI Transport specification and version 0.7 of its 3 Wire UART HCI Transport specification for review. The documents are available on the Associate's page of the Bluetooth SIG member web site.
September:
-Bluetooth SIG SD HCI Transport Specification and 3 Wire UART HCI Transportation Version 0.7 (11/02) The HCI Working Group has released version 0.7h of its HCI PCI Transport specification and version 0.7 of its 3 Wire UART HCI Transport specification for review. The documents are available on the Associate's page of the Bluetooth SIG member web site.
-Bluetooth SIG HID Specifications for Review (9/02) The HID Working Group has released version 0.9h2 of the Test Suite Structure (TSS), version 0.90i of the Implementation Conformance (ICS) Statement, and version 0.90h of the Case Reference List (TCRL) Documents for version 0.95c of the HID Profile Specification for your review. The documents are available on the Bluetooth SIG member web site.
-Bluetooth SIG Video Distribution Profile for Review (9/02) The Audio Video Working Group has released version 0.9 of its Video Distribution Profile specification for review. The documents are available on the Bluetooth SIG member web site. As such, the 74-day IP review period for this specification has begun. The IP review period will end on 9th December 2002.
