Well I would say the coolest bluetooth gadget I have is my ipaq 5450!
Here is a good place that sells probably everything bluetooth. Worth a look!

i reakon they should do a bluetooth tape adaptor for your car. so you can put the tape into the hifi cassett entry point and just use the mp3 on you p800. Infact it would be good if they did that as a non bluetooth product
Anyone know of any such thing.

A bit off topic I guess, but you can by tapes that connect via a wire to a portable CD player so you can play whatever CD's you want with your car's tape deck. Works with 8 Track tapes as well! (Grin)

yes their is a device which eliminates cables for your speakers and I think it works with bluetooth. Yes ther is the tape device which you mention but if it were bluetooth as well it would be cheaper buying a mp3 cd player.

With current bluetooth 1.1 its not possible to have wireless stereo speakers. The bandwidth is simply not enough. Maximum usable is .7 Mbit A uncompressed 16 bit stereo 48khz channel would require AT LEAST a 1.5 Mbit bandwidth (in reality add 50% to 100% to this, for errors correction, and protocol overheads). so we are looking at around 2 to 3 Mbit bandwidth, and that is assuming noone else is in the vincinity using Bluetooth!
A possibility is to use a compression like MP3 or OGG, but this would increase the costs, since each speaker woudl need an MP3 decoder. and again with overheads, u are looking at a maximum 160kbps encoding.
This may change with Bluetooth 2.
As for coolest "looking" BT gadget, hmm, either the HBH-30, T68 (love that light) or the MSI Dongle (everyone asks what the hell is THAT!)
As for coolest BT device.. hmm My HP 995c printer fits that bill quite well!!! Also looks really funky with its silver look, and flashing bluetooth light.

think!
speakers without cables are possible but stupid.
just how would you power the speakers? batteries? wont last a track. thats why B&O's wi-fi speakers stayed at a prototype stage.
also the next gen of bluetooth is called 1.2 and is being developed and tested by inventel, they claim to have been doing so for the past 6 months.
inventel claim 1.2 can comfortably transmit within 100ft at a speed of 1-1.5 meaning that 802.11g (wi-fi) is still the more superioir format. technically.
also bose made wifi speakers too. but never made them.

Speakers without cables, stupid? I think not. Cables will be gone on most appliances in the future. I await the day i dont have to plug something into a socket for power. Telephones used to have leads, so why not speakers?
