Well, even if it works with a mobile phone, that doesn't
guarantee that it would work with such a photo frame.

In fact, the bluetooth function of that photo frame is
intended so you can upload pictures from a mobile phone
to the frame (not from a PC, AFAIK).  Can FreeBSD with
obexapp act like a mobile phone?

(I'm sorry if this is a dumb question; I'm not familiar
with these protocols.)

Yeah, well ...  I've also considered buying a small
RS-232 controlled display (such as the ones from
matrixorbital.com) and put an RS232-Bluetooth dongle
on it.  I understand these are using the SPP profile,
so it should work with FreeBSD.  On the other hand,
such a dongle alone is in the $150 range, and it needs
another power supply which is a PITA ...

I'll think it over.  Thanks for your offer to help!

Best regards
