*Nothing* supports Bluetooth very well IMHO, I've never had much
success getting good, reliable connections with it over quite a
range of hardware.

I suspect that what happens between (for example) a phone and a
specific Bluetooth device is that the manufacturer sets up an App in
the phone and it works with that device and that's all they do.  As
soon as you try the device with a PC or to connect to a more 'generic'
app you're on your own.
