I really hope that manufactures of consumer electronics speed up their development and their time to market with new products. It seems they think "we are not ready to embrace really cool technology" They might think it’s too complicated for the average user, or its just time consuming and very expensive to develop new stuff, what ever the reason, I just want to be able to use what I know is feasable to make happen..."</i><br /><br /><img src=http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/westfall-050706-a2dpspeakers.jpg><br /><br />An interesting hack using our beloved HTC Wizard for an audio source, a pair of broken logitech BT headphones, and some powered speakers. Getting a pair of powered BT speakers would be a nice addition to my gadget arsenal... perhaps I should just stop waiting for manufacturers and make one myself! What do you guys think?

I think if you want a pair of BT speakers, it would be easier to just get one of the receivers that have a headphone jack, and hook a pair of speakers to it.

To be honest, I don't need BT speakers for my PDA: they wouldn't be as portable as it is. However I would like some for my laptop, but it doesn't have the A2DP profile (it's a Dell Latitude D800). Does anyone have a clue as to how I could easily add the profile without adding a BT dongle?
