Android Apps Might Not Feature Bluetooth

The most recent Android SDK software development kit says that Android 1.0 won't include a "comprehensive" Bluetooth Application Programming Interface (API).  Google wil elaborate on Friday in a blog to explain what it means to developers.  Some developers contributing to Google's Android forum say they find it hard to believe that Android 1.0 won't support Bluetooth.  However, Google may plan to build support for Bluetooth into Android so that end users can wirelessly link standard Bluetooth gear, such as ear pieces, to the phone. But a lack of APIs would mean that developers couldn't build applications that use Bluetooth.

HTC's Dream phone is expected to be the first on the market to run Android software.
