Unfortunatly no, I think it's in the Bluetooth specs that only one
connection at a time is allowed.

You made my heart skip a beat there...I can't imagine the bluetooth
designers would be that dumb. I'd have to join the slashdot "bluetooth
is dead, wavelan is going to win" crowd or something

I did a bit of googling:

It seems that some chipsets can only do one connection at a time, and
that some protocol stacks are similarly limited. It's presumably
difficult in some way to do multipoint, but it's possible. As I
mentioned previously, multi-point is one of the features I consider
essential. My belt is full of gadgets; they must all speak to each
