[gps-talkusers] Re: small wireless external speaker

Yes and no.

The Bluetooth audio adapter will connect with only one device at a time. The 
BrailleNote will connect with only one GPS receiver at a time. Both the speaker 
and GPS receiver can operate at the same time because they are going through 
separate Bluetooth services.
