Update...
I misread the instructions about making the Shake discoverable. I can now see it with my own inthehand based code.
Given my lack of BT knowledge, I'm not sure in which direction to head next. I know I need to pair with the device. I do not *have* to have the device integrated into the OS, meaning I don't really care if Windows can play music over this device or not. I'd actually prefer to write that code myself, but, as I said above, am unsure of which direction to head.
So, if someone does have some pointers or advice for me, I'd be happy to have them.
