hey, is there anyway to make your computer stream iTunes to your phone via bluetooth? i know you can establish a network connection between 2 computers via bluetooth, but what about computer and phone?

thanks
Ray.

That's actually not something Clicker should handle.

Thing is, there are various types of BT services (you've probably seen stuff like OBEX Object Push and other cryptical phrases). One of these is that your computer can make use of BT audio devices such as headsets. I, for example, tried using Skype along with my Ericson HBH30 BT headset - and it worked =)

Now, to actually stream audio to the phone... I've never seen that. My guess would be that the phone manufacturers assume audio will be travelling "the other way", so they don't add Bluetooth Audio Device as a capability with their phones.

So, in short, I don't think it's possible, and it's definitely not within the scope of what Clicker does. An interesting idea, though.

Just as an aside, I've always thought it would be awesome to use a mobile & BT for computer-based VoIP. :D

What about through TCP/IP?

What about a script to invoke the OSX Bluethooth transfer programm? Might be a good compromise?
