hp Now Shipping Bluetooth Headphones
"Turn your HP iPAQ Pocket PC into a wireless audio player with high-quality, stereo sound with these Bluetooth� headphones! You can listen to MP3s, videos, and any audio files at up to 30' from your iPAQ. Carrying bag and AC adapter (which charges your iPAQ, too) included; each headphone charge provides up to 8 hours of listening."
If you've been waiting for the new hp Bluetooth headphones, the wait is over: several people have informed us that they're now available from the hp online store (presumably only to people in the US) for $99. I'd be interested in hearing back from people who have purchased them - how good are they? What was the setup like?

I ordered it. A couple of reviews I saw were pretty good. I use a Jabra phone headset currently to listen to audio books. It works OK, but the Jabra sensitivity if rather weak - putting the iPaq in your left coat pocket while the Jabra on the right side ear causes bad static. And even the right coat pocket gets some static. The internal antenna of the HP headphones must be a pretty good size. Hopefully, reception will be better.

And most importantly of course, when might they be available in the civilsed world?
Ditto for the keyboard...I'm suffering from serious HP Goody Withdrawal.
Sigh.
And while I'm whining, I'd like to say that online stores that only cater for a limited geophraphical area or national entity fail abysmally to live up to the potential of the internet (and that goes double for MSN Music).
Double sigh.

Any thoughts on whether the drivers work on other devices besides HP's?
I have an iPAQ 4150, but since I got my Windows Mobile Smartphone (Audiovox SMT5600) I find myself listening to music on that device more and more...
Both of the devices I currently own are made by HTC - any chance that HTC created the 4150 driver for HP?

Is there a review of those headphones with a non-HP-PPC?

Its not going to work. I have tried it on a dell and no luck. You need software on the iPAQ in order for it to work.

5455 Compatibility?
Any chance these would work on a 5455?

No luck on the 5xxx series. And I tried to install the driver on the dell and it was a no go.
