The box is indeed a microphone.

No. Yes. Both.

Nokia hasn't released Bluetooth audio support yet for the Internet tablets; however, they've said that such support is coming. Several Nokia developers work on BlueZ, and folks from Nokia have stated that Nokia, as a company, hate wires, so they aren't pleased that the Internet tablets require so many.

In the mean time, apparently you can get A2DP working with some effort. I think it only works with Kagu at the moment, and it may suck your battery dry, but it's there.

Hopefully, official support from Nokia will come soon.

After reading Nokia's product pages, I'm not clear on that myself.

If not, then this Plantronics headset looks rather nifty, if you're looking to travel light.
