Another vote for bluetooth 4.0 APT-X and ANT+ if possible.
Even if it requires both the TI chip and the nordic one. And even if ANT+ remains the only closed PAN spec. Its worth it.
ANT+ can do mesh nodes, and multiple screen streaming which is something that is unheard of with bluetooth.

I'm not holding out much hope that this will come to premonition but i do hope you guys will atleast consider it.



EDIT:
I'm retracting my statements about adding ANT+. (atleast for the time being)
I think it might be a bit to much to ask considering parts of it are a closed spec.


I still am holding out hope for BLE and a higher bitrate codec if possible along with just saying i hope everything listed on the spec page is perfectly doable as well.
