I will also summarize the public statements of the CSR signature and so on. However don't expect a howto for getting firmware from one device into another. I am not concerned in upgrading of any dongle, because today an USB Bluetooth dongle is so cheap that you can buy yourself a new one if the firmware is too old. I paid 14 EUR for my D-Link dongle at eBay. The problem what I see is that the dongle manufacturers are too lazy to get out the Bluetooth 1.2 capable dongles. For the CSR based BlueCore02 based dongles they only have to change their firmware and can sell it as a complete new product. If they started with a 8 Mbit flash from the beginning they don't even have to change their design. The other point is the HID Proxy support. Actually people are asking me where they can buy such dongles. I can't tell them, because I don't know. And again, every BlueCore02 with 8 Mbit flash can use HID Proxy. So where is the problem? I think Apple is doing this the right way. They really support their hardware. The question is why D-Link can't provide an update for the dongle ;) Regards Marcel ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the new InstallShield X. >From Windows to Linux, servers to mobile, InstallShield X is the one installation-authoring solution that does it all.
