Are there any bluetooth gurus here?

First:-

Can anyone tell me where I might find a bluetooth FAQ of any sort which might tell me something useful about how bluetooth devices interconnect (or don't)? The 'official' http://www.bluetooth.com site is pretty useless - or at least I can't get any useful information out of it.

.... well further Googling has got me to the Wikipedia entries on Bluetooth which seem to offer some reasonable explanations at least so maybe I'm not quite so desperate for this first answer now.

Second:-

Is there such a thing as a bluetooth 'pseudo phone' that will connect by bluetooth to a device (such as a headset) that is expecting a bluetooth phone to connect to it? I wan't to send and receive audio to/from a bluetooth headset but the headset will only pair with a bluetooth phone.

The second question is the reason for the first really, I was trying to find out the answer for myself but without much luck. I *think* I have got as far as understanding that there are different types of bluetooth device and there are defined protocols for them to talk to each other but I can't find out what types there are and what will talk to what.
