Default Bluetooth earbud? Or maybe Bluespoon?

I was wondering if there is such a thing as a bluetooth earbud. After seeing Bluespoon I got excited and thought I might be able to double it as a headset for my phone and also use it for listening to Mp3 files on my iPaq.

But on their website they show that Bluespoon only works with phones. There's no mention of Pocket PCs. Or am I wrong. I wasn't able to find a way to contact Bluespoon from their website.

You can hack in the headset profile into the Pocket PC. The quality however, is terrible for listening to MP3 music with. I would not recommend it.

I don't liisten to music. I only liisten to audio books, mp3s I make myself that playback using a synthetic voice and web news like the BBC. Would it work good enough for things like that?

Also, just how good is bluespoon as a phone headset?

Also, if I were to hack it, is there somewhere that I can get a step by step help instructions?

Thanks for the info.

You have to download a registry hack and then find the registry and change a value to one - maybe do search.
