Bluetooth Headset w/Ham HT - is it possible?

Anyone know if there is any articles on adapting a BLUETOOTH headset
as used with cellphones for use with an Amateur HT? It would be nice
to adapt one of the motorcycle Bluetooth helmet headsets to work with
an amateur HT while cycling. I'm sure it's been done before, and if
anyone knows of a source of info it would be appreciated.

It would be fairly difficult to do it on it's own. Using a pocket PC or
some similar device, you could do it easily. The problem is finding a
device that could do it that would not cost more than the HT.

Basicly what you need is some sort of system that accepts connections
from bluetooth devices and plays the digital sound to a digital to
analog converter. Since a pocket PC has the bluetooth and a "sound card",
it would be simple under Linux. It might be simple under WINCE, but
I only know about building handheld Linux devices.
