How to Connect a Bluetooth Headset to a Pocket PC

Pocket PCs are miniature computers that travel easily, as some are no bigger than a pack of playing cards. Many people rely on their Pocket PCs completely and would never leave home without it. A Bluetooth headset is a handy accessory for a Pocket PC that is Bluetooth enabled. Basic Pocket PCs can use audio-only headsets to listen to music and other audio recordings. Pocket PCs that have built in mobile phones, on the other hand, can use Bluetooth headsets with microphones just as you would with a cellular phone.
