First off, I think you'd have to find a working model of a MP2001. ;)

But second, since Bluetooth is owned entirely by Ericson, they have
licensing fees and structures for the technology. We got lucky with the

Ethernet drivers and there was no one that Hiroshi or anyone else had
to pay money in order to do the work.
