Mobility Site - View Single Post - Can I "stream" video files with bluetooth?

I couldn't find this question in the section about what I can do with my axim.

I'm wondering if I can take an axim X30 and open a large file, perhaps LOTR encoded for pocketPC, with pocketTV or windows Media player off of my laptop. This is what I want to do:

I will be travelling with my niece shortly and to give her something to do in the car I thought I could encode a video file (well, maybe not LOTR) that she could watch. I don't have a large SD card so I thought I could take along my laptop as well and open the file through bluetooth from my laptop onto my X30. Is this possible? I obviously couldn't copy it to my axim because the file is too big so I think this would be sort of like streaming but I'm not sure bluetooth can do this.

So, can it? Any other options besides going out and buying a larger SD card?
