You can do device discovery (and service discovery) however, the method used
depends on the Bluetooth stack on the device, most iPaqs will be using the
Widcomm stack, which unfortunately you need to purchase an SDK to use. For
devices which use Microsoft's own Bluetooth stack you can get the details
straight out of the Pocket PC SDK. There is a (work in progress) Bluetooth
library for the Microsoft stack to be used in .NETCF available online here:-
