Jim, If i remember correctly it can support just under one Mbps. Using my cable modem I can listen to hi-fi like sound in stereo from about 100 Kbps and up, and good video, small size on a computer but large on a PDA, from 300 Kbps and up.
The one major drawback that I've heard (during one of Seybolds Q&A sessions is that Bluetooth is not yet as easy to set up, connect, i.e. automatic with auto-detection, as it was supposed to be. I hope they fix that soon.
The reason I mentioned the word "encryption" (should have been proprietary encryption) in my first post on this subject was that, I suppose that could make Nokias or say Sonys peripherals work only with their own tranceivers. Thus you could sell the tranceivers at loss if you decided to - in order to pay less royalties.

Some technical info:

I have wireless speakers connected to my PC and I use them all the time - by the jacuzzi, pool, garden...etc. They are made by RCA.

Wireless speakers

recoton makes a rf extender that transmits stereo sound to remote speakers for exactly your purpose. It's pretty cool... i think you can also get wireless headphones that would receive the transmission in private. CDMA advocates might question the security of such devices, but i think they would serve your purpose well, at least until true 3G takes traction (i'm kidding).
