Definitely dead. It may continue with some headset applications but you don't need ubiquity there. I have had a wireless keyboard and mouse for 5 years. Guess what, its not Bluetooth. Because of Wi-Fi hot spots phones will start sprouting 802.11. What's the point of two air interfaces on the same frequency? "main advantage of Bluetooth in this area is the top level of the networking stack, which has well defined syncing protocols" Well defined? From all the grumbling it sounds like that is where all the incompatibilities are. Had they used an existing standard (ummm... say TCP/IP) lots of software would not have to be rewritten specially for Bluetooth. Standards, standards, standards. Bluetooth invented new ones when the existing ones were close enough.
