Is bluetooth 2.1 supported?

[Foxgod]

When i receive my 1ghz pandora, i want to buy a wireless bluetooth headset for it.


I saw a nice one, but its bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, however the pandora specs mention it supports bluetooth 2.0 + ERD.


Will the 2.1 + ERD headset work with the pandora?

I believe all bluetooth devices are backwards compatible, the headset/pandora will use the lowest version for compatibility mode.


If the Headset is using 2.1 and the pandora 2.0 then it will be a 2.0 bluetooth connection.

Bluetooth Core Specification Version 2.1 + EDR is fully backward compatible with 1.2

Sounds like it would work.

although I believe we do not have the bluetooth functionality working correctly for audio, unless it's been fixed and I haven't seen it on the forums. Didn't we need bluez or something?

Cool, tnx for the replys guys.


Is the bluetooth audio issue a hardware or software related issue?

Software related.


.next (the next big upcoming OS) should include BlueZ, which would be a start here.


No one so far was really interested in Bluetooth, so nobody really cared about
