i not sure what do mean by "sound card", but yes, theoretically someone
could write a software that would implement headset profile. keep in
mind that bluetooth profiles normally depend on other profiles. please
take a look at

this can give you an idea about headset profile.

i really can not comment on that. it may be possible, or it may not. it
depends on how different 410 and 7xx. i have never owned a pocketpc, and
i do not think i ever will :)
