Practically, this means you're probably limited to talking to whatever it is you can talk to over the serial encapsulation used (RFCOMM?); things like CF readers and voice headsets (and probably mice/keyboards/gamepads) would be out, not that they'd be much fun across an RS232 link slower than a Bluetooth channel itself. If a piece of hardware exists that *does* offer the 'raw' (L2CAP layer?) link over serial, you'd need a Bluetooth stack to do useful things with it, just as we need software like Poseidon (and appropriate drivers) to use USB peripherals.
