Use Stereo Bluetooth headphones with your Treo

Finally, you can use stereo Bluetooth headphones with your Treo smartphone! I use my Treo 650 daily to listen to podcasts and occasionally music, and frequently wish I could have better sound quality. Now Softick has released Audio Gateway v1.0, the first Bluetooth A2DP audio streaming solution for Palm OS handhelds.
Softick Audio Gateway can operate with any Bluetooth audio device which supports Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) designed to transfer a high-quality stereo audio stream wirelessly. The program captures digital audio from Palm OS audio subsystem and redirects it to the Bluetooth A2DP device: stereo headphones, desktop PC, car audio or A2DP speakers.
Features:
* Advanced Audio Distribution Profile support (A2DP)
* High quality stereo streaming, up to 304Kbps audio bitrate
* Wide-range players and audio software compatibility
* Easy setup and usage
* Support for Mono and Stereo sound stream
* Automatic upsampling/downsampling depending on blueooth headset capabilities
* Built-in audio post filter to improve low bitrate audio quality
Softick Bluetooth Audio Gateway has been tested with the following :
* Plantronics Pulsar 590A Headset
* Bluetake i-Phone BT420EX Bluetooth Hi-Fi Sports Headphone
* iPAQ Bluetooth Stereo Headphones (made by Logitech)
Good news for Treo 650 smartphone users : Softick Bluetooth Audio Gateway works fine with the device, and supports both high quality and medium quality modes.
