Ok - I'm trying to do some research to work out whether it's viable to stream low-bitrate MPEG4 to a PDA through a home Bluetooth network.

What I know so far -

Two forms of transmission;
SCO (Synchronously) - Full duplex at 64kbits/s, used for voice transmission.
ACL (Asynchronously) - Half duplex at 721kbits/s, (721kbits/s upstream, 57.6kbits/s downstream), used for data. Also data transmission is available synchronously at 432.6kbits/s send and receive.

What speeds do people get on their Bluetooth LAN with a high end PDA (400Mhz). Has anyone set up streaming MPEG4 over a Bluetooth network? At what speed? (I'm looking at setting up this application - http://www.videolan.org/streaming with a Palm T3 and MMPlayer)

I think the downstream and upstream speeds are the other way around... Never measured the speed on LAN connection, but File Transfer in my case reaches 46KBps (thats KBytes, not Kbits)

So at 46.2 KBps, that would be ~416 kbits/s (8 bits to a byte + 1 stop bit - ie. 46.2 x 9)? Would it be safe to assume that your Bluetooth LAN is operating in the asynchronous form of transmission with send/receive at max rate of 432.6 kbits/s (and also given it's a file transfer rather than streaming data).

Just wondering if anyone has played with streaming data over BT?
