The other pair I really like, out of my collection of bluetooth headsets, is my Samsung SBH600 Noise-Canceling Bluetooth Headset. They suck miserably at phone calls (the microphones are terrible) but the audio quality for listening to music or podcasts is incredibly good! PLUS, this headset can also with with a 3.5mm plug as well, so it's not JUST for Bluetooth and can use them with my Nintendo DS, in addition to the Androids.
Hmm. Now I'm seriously considering the HSP/A2DP headphones rather than a headset. Having dual purpose headphones would be better than just a headset (IMHO). Now the question is what pair. The Motorola ones look nice and light, which is a plus; when it gets hot, having a heavy pair of headphones can be a drag. On the other hand, noise cancelling cans would be far better for consuming media.

Choices, choices... Do you care to elaborate to help this old salt make up his mind?

Anyone know if there's a way to get the Verizon version of the Tab to support them?
I'm sure it's only a matter of time before the community steps in an finds a solution to this. I'm guessing that there's a library or configuration file missing, which should be short work for something that has two ROMs (one with BT and one without) or someone that knows what they're doing. I'll keep an eye out for this.

After thinking about it, lack of a BT mouse isn't a deal breaker. In fact, since Android is currently a single-window OS, a mouse positioning is a luxury, but an unecessary one. I would bet that with a little practice, scrolling and cursor repositioning would be just as easy with the finger. Of course, text highlighting would be quicker with a mouse, as the old shift and cursor is a little slower.
