Guys

Can anyone comment on whether this is specific to the encoder/decoder?
Is the patent an inevitable part of the codec or limited to a specific
implementation?

How is a computer with a qualified USB adapter different from any
other qualified bluetooth device? Does the software have to be
targeted for a specific portable computer as opposed to useful on any
computer?
