Hi Peter,

Thank you very much for your response. I see several '+HS' items there,
but the info leaves me with even more questions.

It is difficult for me to assess what you mean by some time. But your
answer implies that HS/AMP will indeed, at some point, be part of BlueZ.
I have actually expected AMP to be transparent to the stack and to be
implemented in a layer below. It's hard to get any detailed info on this
matter. And this goes on for, what, two years? Three?

I'm really just looking for some combination of devices that would allow
me to establish HS/AMP RFCOMM connections myself. Anything that is
available today? The new Macbook Air's and iPhone's are said to support
BT4 (including HS?). Samsung Galaxy2 devices (and the new Galaxy Nexus
devices) are said to support BT3+HS (true?). Or maybe I should just
order some of these new BT3+HS dongles and try under Windows? Help.
