The Toothpick Stamp Edition is the only Bluetooth link that could do Stamp programming and it's discontinued. The issue is that Stamps are very timing sensitive in their programming and wireless links can't meet the timing requirements. I believe the Toothpick works by downloading the Stamp program to a local buffer, then programs the Stamp from that buffer.

It is possible to send a program via Bluetooth or other wireless link to a Stamp by having a program on the Stamp to handle the download process and by using a program on the PC that's designed for this purpose. If you have a Stamp with more than 2K of program memory (like a BS2p), the default Stamp program can write the downloading program (using WRITE statements) to one of the other 2K slots in the EEPROM where it can be executed by the default (master) program after the download (using the RUN statement).

Isn't the example on page 61 of the eb500 manual showing a a program being downloaded to the Stamp via the bluetooth?······
