Does anyone have any information about the OpenBrain Bluetooth Stereo Headset?

Seems to be available as a sample only, direct from the manufacturer in Korea, so I don't know if that means that it's still a buggy Beta. Also, ordering by fax from Korea seems pretty risky, can't exactly call the Better Business Bureau if you get stuck. And finally I've heard that Bluetooth bandwidth isn't large enough to stream stereo, so the whole thing might be wishful thinking.
On the other hand, it seems like a great design, especially the concept of combining a bluetooth cell phone headset with mp3 stereo headphones, even if a little pricey ($240).
