I've found what you were talking about: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2008/08/some-information-on-apis-removed-in.html Thanks Genesio On Jan 13, 8:35 pm, Raymond Rodgers raym...@badlucksoft.com wrote: Genesio wrote: They will add theBluetoothAPI...

Thanks, Genesio I'm sure if you search this group for posts concerningBlueTootharound late August to early September 2008, you'll come across the posts from various Google people. The bottom line was that at the time, there was a new version of theBlueToothlibrary(ies) being used in Android, and they also need to consider some security issues, so theyremovedtheAPI from the 1.0 SDK.

[android-beginners] Re: bluetooth api
As I already wrote in another post, the current Android SDK doesn't allow developers to use the complete Bluetooth stack, but only expose functionality to use/control headsets (audio profile).

At the time when SDK 1.0 was released, the Bluetooth API wasn't finished and they didn't wanted to release an unfinished API, because the API has to be supported for many years and big changes would break the applications using it.
