Does EmbeddedBlue work with the Prop?

Will this www.parallax.com/detail.asp?product_id=30068 work with the Propeller? Will I be able to load RAM/EEPROM wirelessly with this module? I tried searching and all I get is a bunch of results starting with "...A Propeller chip? SX..."

    The EmbeddedBlue Bluetooth device should work with the Propeller, but not to replace the programming connection ... just as a general data transfer mechanism. The downloading protocol is very very timing sensitive and will not work with xBee or Bluetooth which both have inherent delays as packets are assembled and transmitted, then disassembled at the other end. You might be able to use Telnet over WiFi just because it's much faster, but I don't think anyone has tried it.

    You could always write your own loader that could work over a Bluetooth link, but it wouldn't work with the Propeller Tool or the Propeller ROM downloader.
