Bluetooth crawler for Windows Mobile - btCrawler - released
January 30, 2006 [Wireless (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ...)] | By Edward J. R.

It is freeware, works in one binary with all Windows Mobile platforms (Windows Mobile 5.0, older, smartphone, Pocket PC) and it can discover Bluetooth services in devices in your neighbourhood, including your own...

It can't do yet bluejacking and sending Bluetooth mesages that would block some nokia phones... but maybe these features will be released in next version...

In short btCrawler is a simple bluetooth scanner. It scans for visible devices in range and can perform a service query. You can also query for services of your own device. In the device list: COD means "Class of Device" (see bluetooth specification for more info). In the output window, when the sdp services are listed, "ChId" means Channel ID, which is the RFCOMM Channel the service is listening on. It supports both, landscape and portrait screens.

It *should* run on Windows Mobile based devices which meet the following criterias:

- MS Bluetooth Stack (WIDCOMM / Broadcom ist NOT supported)

- Works on: Windows Mobile 5, PPC2003, PPC2003SE, Smartphone 2003, Smartphone 2003SE and Smartphone with WM5

... and latest version added also support for stereo audio over Bluetooth profiles:

- Added some service classes in the scan engine (A2DP, A2Sink, A2SRC, SAP)

- Added "SelfDiag" button to check what services the own device provides
