The API documentation does not say that there will be no Bluetooth API, only that the API will not be comprehensive. This suggests that by the time of 1.0, a partial API may be implemented. I have little doubt that a comprehensive Bluetooth API is near the top of the list of things that need to be done shortly after the 1.0 release. > Sorry, but I dont have time to write any games - I'm > writing serious applications. I'm sorry, but get over yourself. Even with the current state of the Android Bluetooth API (and I really wish there was more information about the upstream issues), there is plenty of room for 'real' application development. And the lack of a comprehensive API does not mean that the phone won't support Bluetooth altogether. HTC would not release a smartphone in this day and age that lacked Bluetooth support. At worst, we may need to wait until the 1.1 firmware to be able to write applications that fully utilize Bluetooth. This is an unfortunate turn of events, that is certain. But the lack of a comprehensive API does not mean the lack of any support whatsoever.
