    Use Windows Vista host as Bluetooth "Headset" and Dialer

    I'm using an HP tx1220us Tablet PC running Vista Ultimate in my car (mounted and connected via audio to my deck) as a mobile Media Center.  Currently, I'm only using it for music, passenger video and GPS/mapping; however, I'd really like to use this same system as a Bluetooth dialer and audio gateway for my mobile phone (especially with the new law going into effect 1-July here in California!)  Does the 32feet.NET library (or other produts from InTheHand) provide the plumbing to accomplish this task?  Is it even possible with the Widcomm or MS stack?

    If it's possible, I'll be authoring a Vista Media Center plug-in that includes a dialer interface, which will also handle incoming calls (pausing media playback when a call is recieved, etc.)

    Thanks in advance for any info!

    Just a short reply just now, not that I know too much about the Vista audio features, but have you seen http://www.peterfoot.net/BluetoothAudioInVista.aspx (and http://peterfoot.net/BluetoothProfiles.aspx).

    Oh wait, that's probably the wrong way around, you want Vista to *be* the hands-free and not the audio gateway.
