Re:I wanna be a Bluetooth Radio Station

Bluetooth? How about FM broadcast, so that anyone around you with a FM radio can tune in?

It already exists, and it's cheap. When I got my SlimX MP3 player, I also got a Link-It which is a personal FM transmitter, with a range of a few dozen feet, weighing a few ounces, and only a few inches in size. You can buy them for about $30 US from various places, including here.

Excellent for listening to MP3s in the car.

But can you WATCH those MPEG4s?

Speeds for Bluetooth spec out at under 1 Mbps, depending on range, obstacles, etc. At an average speed of 750 Kbps, could you watch an MPEG-4 encoded video clip at a decent resolution on a handheld? (Hmmm...that OQO has Bluetooth built in.) Check out the specs on Bluetooth.
