Interesting. Well, I guess there is a difference between the old Touch and the new Touch — although Apple’s been mum about it. The chip iFixit found supports Bluetooth 2.1+EDR+FM. What do you think, people? Secret ripoff or secret surprise? Reminds me of the secret 3G in Dell Inspiron Minis.
[Thanks for the tip, Staguave!]

How does the new Nike+ communicate? Wouldn’t surprise me if it was bluetoothy. Then the new Nike+ pucks would work with the iPhone 3G as well, yes?
That’s pretty huge, especially if they enable the FM too.
Why is everyone so surprised by this? Adding Nike+ connectivity doesn’t just come for free — of course there was going to be an extra chip.
But if you think it’s going to run Bluetooth as well there’s a whole lot of red tape before you get to use that protocol, which is why Nike *doesn’t*.
Yea, this is the Nike+ reciever. This has been discussed on numerous blogs, it is a chip similar to bluetooth but it does not have bluetooth.
can’t wait until the hackers start havin fun with that. Btw writing this on my iPod touch 2G
The chip can recive and send info thew bluetooth. Apple said they are enabling it with the new SO 3.0
