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.

how much would it cost streetdeck to develop and license for bluetooth?

Did they refund the preorders...I remember getting an e-mail but I don't think I responded to it...

I wouldn't say versions. He said that it wouldnt be in SD 2. I would guess that at some point the licensing cost issues (whatever they may be) will be resolved after things get rolling again.
