Hi Andrew, Thanks for replying.
I have read that. I'm currently compiling BBBAndroid with Android-x86's bluedroid which appears to have USB BT support. http://git.android-x86.org/?p=platform/external/bluetooth/bluedroid.git;a=summary I'd like to use rfcomm and audio, rfcomm is more important though. I'm open to other hardware suggestions too. My requirements for my little pet project are: Android Resistive touch screen Bluetooth USB Host RTC Audio out BTW I see your attending SU. Great school, I attended a few courses there and just moved away from the area.
