IF! the iPod Touch doesn’t have bluetooth couldn’t somebady adapt the WiFi to act like blue tooth ??

I mean like Install some blue tooth software from a iPhone and mod it to use WiFi instead , it wouldn’t be as good as blue but might be faster. Mabye some third party company could make a bluetooth head set in a WiFi one. Maybe ?

World traveler here, I use the Dell Axim with Windows mobile for Yahoo Voice and Skype, works very well, I have local phone numbers on multiple continents; however, I would unload the Axim on eBay in a heartbeat if I could get Skype and Yahoo voice on the iPod touch. You can forget cell phone plans, what a giant rip off! I don’t want to have to answer my phone unless I am having coffee anyway, thats what voice mail is for. Please get to work on it folks!

The icon that you saw by the battery icon is for WIRELESS, not bluetooth.

bluetooth is essentially a waste of time. If you guys want to see a killer review site check out http://www.ipodtouchreview.com it is going to be loaded with tons of content. Thanks!

but yeah, bluetooth is lame. waste of time, waste of battery life.

Would bluetooth allow for wireless connections to car audio systems? This would make the whole ipod connection nightmare a whole lot less complex.

Bluetooth would be great as then you could get a small, bluetooth enabled phone on a reasonably priced voice and data plan with someone other than AT&T (T-Mobile?) and get a good phone and all the iPhone goodies.

But I’ve gotta believe that this would create a royal pain in the AT&T/Apple relationship and Apple probably gets some revenue share on the AT&T plan that would threatened.

My bet is that an open iPod touch is a threat to the economics of the closed network model of the iPhone.

I think they just ’shopped an iPhone screen over the touch mockup. Also, why doesn’t the reflection match what’s on the screen?

But yeah, I hope it has Bluetooth. If so, I hope Apple releases a new Airport Express that works as a Bluetooth audio gateway.

Bluetooth internet connectivity would be terrific. Could we get internet through our phones that way?

I was just saying to a friend that the touch would make way more sense if it had Bluetooth (at least to those of us outside the US that can’t get an iPhone for love nor money). Because as I see it, the touch is a competitor to the N800, which can Bluetooth to your mobile phone to get the Interwebs on the go. So, forget the headphones – I HOPE it has Bluetooth to pair it up with my phone. (or even better they finally let us get some iPhone love in the UK!)
