Also, Bluetooth is inherently a lossy format.


Is it? How would it work, then, with a printer connection? Or a
MindStorms brick?


Sloppy phrasing, I fear. Bluetooth uses a number of different protocols,
not all of which guarantee perfect data transfer.

The maximum guaranteed data rate that Bluetooth supports can't support
real time streaming of uncompressed audio data, especially at or near
its range limit.

Also, printers don't care *when* a particular packet arrives, they just
patiently wait for it, and Mindstorms don't use *that* much data.
