[...] With WES around the corner, Sona Mobile announced the unveiling of their new media platform for BlackBerry which will facilitate streaming and push media. This sounds like something that would mesh well with the newly-revealed, medialicious Curve. It’ll be pretty sweet downloading podcasts without having to dock your BB. Sona had this software in testing stages at the last WES, which BBCool managed to get its hands onto. We can only hope that they’re closer to release this go-around than they were last year. Regardless, you better believe that the BBCool away team will be all over this next week. [...]

That is so cool how they don’t use standard bb controls, they actually made their own slider for the volume. Does anyone know if it will be skinnable? that would be a really great feature. Who would of thought WES would reveal something that is actually cool in the genuine sense?

FYI, it’s not unusual for audio apps to not function over Bluetooth headsets. This isn’t the headset tho, it’s the phone/smartphone.

I’ve used Mobitv (online tv), mp3′s, avi’s, etc on Moto 710′s, Treos, and Audiovox 6700′s – same issue. The BT headset won’t do anything but play sound on calls only.

From working at Alltel, I can say manufacturers certainly have an issue with BT headsets being used for anything else but calls. The BT software is either not equipped to handle it, or filters everything else out. Why was this done? I dunno, but it’s irritating.

I’ve managed to obtain a beta trial and whilst the canned clips are good and certainly shows potential, I am eager to get access to tools that will allow me to push my own content. Bring it on!!

You mentioned the audio didn’t work with your headset. Can you find out if audio playback through headsets is supported?
