The problem isn't DLink, or even Apple, it's just that no one has created an application to take advantage of the headset profile. I paired my Erisson HBH-15 headset with my Mac just fine. Now we just need an application to work with it.

I think that the best way for Apple to do this would be to add "Bluetooth Audio" to the sound control panel, which would let us use Bluetooth for a sound input or output.

From what I hear from PC users, Bluetooth is too slow for good quality audio. They say PCMCIA Bluetooth cards are much better than USB dongles for Bluetooth audio

BT audio

The headset profile and the Handfree profile (for cars) use the BT 1.0 standard. This can handle 2 way phone audio, not MP3 of hifi quality.

If Apple would put the headset profile in OSX you can use your headset with VoIP. This would make calling very cheap.

Best thing would be a BT card like the airport card from Apple. As BT and WIFI use the same frequency the Airport antenna sould work.
