Arguably, none of the above, because there is no such thing as "*the* phone" (emphasis mine). Android will most likely be used on a wide range of devices. These will likely support various sets of Bluetooth profiles, no different than any other phones made today. Many Bluetooth functions would likely work beneath the level of Android applications, no different than with other smartphone operating systems. For example, you don't have to be running some downloaded magical Windows Mobile application to use the handsfree profile -- that's handled solely by hardware and Windows Mobile itself. Given all that, *my* questions are: -- Which Bluetooth profiles will the Android OS handle on its own (given hardware support for said profile)? -- What means do developers have for adding support for other Bluetooth profiles not handled directly by the Android OS? If the answer is "not at the application level, only by modifying the core Android OS", would you consider addressing this scenario when writing up the documentation for how the community can contribute back to Android, once it goes open source? -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 1.1 Published! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
