Not too bad actually. Besides headsets, where is BT used? Printers dropped it, BT PANs are deader than a doornail. Cameras and MP3 players don't use it and it is still optoinal on laptops. For a while, it was hard to find one without it but now, it is generally an option.

Most wireless mice/keyboards I've seen use RF, not BT (not all, but most). The one company that has really used BT well is Nintendo with the Wii. We have all sorts of remotes that all use BT, but that is a somewhat closed system. Kudos to them though for doing something with it. No one else has.
