Hi

I have a usb bluetooth dongle on Window host pc while running
virtualbox with the latest Froyo Android VM. Is there away to get
Andriod VM to see the bluetooth dongle and utilize it ?

make sure your usb bluetooth chipset is ISSCBTA.
ISSCBTA chipset worked on Android-x86
If you used broadcom chipset. It worked for windows.
Because you should install bluetooth driver for windows if your
bluetooth chipset is ISSCBTA.
But Bluetooth Broadcom chipset didnt work on Android-x86.
I have tried it.

I did managed to get the broadcomm bluetooth to show up using the
froyo-eeepc-20101015.iso under Virutal box and VMware. The same
bluetooth device didn't show up with froyo-vm-20100812.iso. I didn't
try doing any connect but I was able to user the bluetooth dongle to
discover nearby devices.

I do have a ISSCBTA dongle, so I will give that a try on the froyo-
vm-20100812.iso image later.
