Yes we don't have official SDK API's to Bluetooth, but that does not mean we have a don't have a Bluetooth stack with supporting Java framework classes.
See BluetoothDevice.java, BluetoothHeadset.java, RfcommSocket.java etc. However, we have not made any of these classes part of the official Android SDK. This is because these classes _will change_, and any apps that you write that use these classes _will break_ as we roll out new software updates. Making the decision to commit to an SDK API is a big step that we don't take until we are sure we can support that interface for years to come. We know there is a lot of demand for an official Bluetooth API, and it is the Bluetooth team's second highest priority right now, behind A2DP which there is also a lot of demand for.
