Caller ID on PC via bluetooth?

So I can pair with a headset, handsfree kit, watch or bracelet and display caller ID, why should I not be able to do the same with a PC? Does anyone know of any software to do this? Or am I missing something?

iphone, iOS 4

The Bluetooth profiles used by computers connecting to cell phones is different than the HFP used by hands-free devices, and call data is not transmitted.

As it is, iPhone connections to computers are limited to tethering cell data network to the computers. Direct file/data transfers to and from the phone and computer are not supported.
