The Bluetooth API required depends on the Bluetooth Stack provided on your
device. The Pocket PC 2003 SDK provides headers and documentation on
Microsoft's own stack for free however this stack is only used on a small
number of devices currently (XDAII and SPV E200 primarily). Other stacks are
available such as WidComm which requires purchase of an SDK from WidComm for
full programmatic access to the stack
(http://www.widcomm.com/Products/bluetooth_comm_software_btce.asp).
