Bluetooth would not be acceptable for any video unless it was highly compressed but compression technology has made significant gains. It may be simpler to integrate a miniature CDMA subscriber unit right into the headset. The MSM5200, available 2001, supports MPEG-4 streaming video. The maximum data rate is 384 kbps. Batteries are still getting smaller and electronics and displays more efficient. It just always takes longer than expected for these technologies to mature and hit a price point that allows mass adoption. I don't anticipate movie quality streaming video over bluetooth. Bux

John: "That's 36.8 Mbps" Are you discussing the transfer rate between the "video chip" and the display? Why would that be wireless? Bluetooth, as I see it, will be handling the data stream between the phone and several types of accessories. Could send data to a display that has built in CPU, video processing power, memory capacity, what ever.. It may be hard to put all this in a pair of glasses so maybe you need one unit, connected by wire, in the shirt pocket. Or did I misunderstand the problem at hand? Best Lars
