Very Cool, $99 is a great price for these and it looks like it also includes a charger for the iPaq too, which adds to the value. You can't order them yet, but certainly very soon...next week or so would be my guess!

woo! And my 2215 is listed as compatible! I don't know if they'll be releasing a driver for this? Or it's already supported? I was under the impression streaming audio with the 2215's current bluetooth drivers would be low-quality.. Well, all I know is that they'd better work with my 2215 if HP says they will...

Low quality sound would be true, if you use a Bluetooth headset since the headset profile automatically uses a voice quality codec. Hence, the bad sound quality of audio. I have got this described better in my review of a Nokia Bluetooth headset:

I believe that the 22xx will need an update to be able to utilize the headphones as the headphone profile was introduced in Bluetooth 1.2 spec. If this means that the 22xx will be upgraded/-dated to Bluetooth 1.2, is something we will have to see with HP about... :roll:
