I've got a Tosh e800 with a Socket BT CF card. I'd like to transmit my music from my Pocket PC to a cassette adapter wirelessly. Is there anything like that out there?

Not as of this time, no. No CF BT card supports wireless audio, as far as I know.

Even if the Bluetooth card supported audio, he'd still need a Bluetooth receiver to plug the cassette adapter into, right? (Or is there a Bluetooth cassette adapter, kind of like the old MP3 player cassettes?)

However, let's try something completely different. Why not just plug the cassette adapter into the Pocket PC's headphone jack? If that's not possible, how about using an FM transmitter plugged into the Pocket PC? The audio quality won't like be as good, but it is wireless. :-) One such device was discussed here recently (http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=29378).

Yes - and you're right, they don't exist either. ;) The FM transmitter is the best "wireless" solution that exists as of this moment. I think, in the future, we might see car radios with next-gen Bluetooth profiles (and with the bandwidth to handle it)... but that's not coming anytime soon.

I was kinda hoping for something like this: http://www.ipodlounge.com/reviews_more.php?id=4377_0_6_0_C. However, it wouldn't want to have to plug anything into the headphone jack. My ideal solution would be something similar to BT headset for a mobile phone.

FYI, those headphones are already being discussed in this thread (http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=29689).
