BT Dongle available or still pre-order?

Has there been an update on this? Is the bluetooth device (that is sold in the store) working with SD? I would like to order one if it does.

GoC has stated in the "Future of SD" thread that bluetooth won't be supported in upcoming versions of SD because they can't afford the license. So, in short, no, that's not good. :-(

True, but also mentioned on a thread that they just cant afford it now, but will try later and they are aware that bluetooth is a huge thing to have. So i'm hoping that once everything is straighten out with SD then new and better stuff will come out.

If the next bluetooth version requires a license, then there will be a multitude of $10 dongles that will work, and you won't get stuck paying $60. That dongle was specific to SD and nothing else. Not really worth it now.

"It is expected that StreetDeck will continue to be sold at MP3Car.com as well as through other venues."

Doesn't really help on the dongle question.
