I have a laptop with no microphone, but it has bluetooth. Is there a way that the magician can act as a bluetooth headset for my pc?
In that way i don't have to buy a microphone, and can make wireless phonecalls with skype.
Thanks!

As far as I know, the Microsoft Stack doesn't offer the possibility to work as BT Headset. It can only use BT Headset. I can also not see a possibility in software to configure such a functionality.

Pocket Skype might be able to do what you want. In a round about way.
Run Pocket Skype on your PDA and access the internet via BT through your laptop.....is that possible?

I don't think the data rate would be sufficient.

Yer it is.. bluetooth streams my vids (using myorb) extremly well .. the question is if skype will work with the lame activesync tcpip limitations (media player works and IE but not windows networking arg!)
If anyone has a solution to the windows networking over bluetooth activesync please tell me! :)

I will try that as soon as i get home!
The goal is, not only to use skype(or an other voip network) but also to use voice with MSN messenger on my pc trough the microphone of the magician.
Any suggestions for MSN or something like windows soundrecorder (sndrec32.exe).
maybe selecting the 'what you hear' in the recording properties. I guess you'll be hearing an echo if you do that.

Yup orbs the one i use... it works well but takes up a fair bit of resources on your pc at times.. mp3s stream over the bluesioil stack via windows networking but im going to try this new stack soon (the one just posted about in the magician forum).
Go the mini!! hehe

Since I have Web server configure, I use TCMP player to open media file w/ HTTP. Works greats.
