Anyone has any idea on how to do bluetooth programming on PC?
Basically, i need to send data from PC(server) to a PDA(client) via bluetooth.
Is this similar to programming on wireless, like winsock?
Couldn't find the apis or bluetooth protocol for windows.

sills from SECentral.net??
To develop bluetooth application on Windows, you need to download the Core SDK of the
Platform SDK from Microsoft.
However, your application can only talk to BT device that use Microsoft driver.

Then you should do some reading on Bluetooth stack before that.
MS bluetooth stack can only support HID, HCRP, and DUN profiles. To send data from PC to PDA, most probably you need OBEX Push or OBEX File Transfer profile which does not support by Microsoft yet.
You can't use your existing BT driver (eg: Widcomm) for your Windows BT application becos they are design to be use by their own software (eg: My Bluetooth Place) unless you have the SDK from them.
Another way is if your PDA BT support virtual COMM Port, then simply just write a serial comm application and make use of BT serial port to communicate.

Downloading the platform SDK now.
Will try to program bit by bit.
BTW, are you sure it doesn't support 3rd party's bt drivers?

Just think of why you can't use your widcomm driven dongle on fMA bluetooth connection..

In my experience, even Dell can't sort the bluetooth stack (not me alone judging from their knowledge base) ... goodwill to ye who tries!!

My friend owns a Dell notebook.
He did some programming using VB to talk to his t68i via bt dongle.
