I think the next major upgrade to the iPod should have Bluetooth built in, for people like me; who hates wires!!!ie: Bluetooth headphones and Remote.
Feel free to post any other suggestions!

So, unless you wear D-batteries for earrings, where are the headphones going to get their power?
Also, the iPod's battery life has been crippled by a CLOCK, what do you think a constant stream of broadcasting is gonna do?

As a matter of fact, this is possible right now if you use an iRock (or other brand of RF broadcaster) and a headphone radio. It's not elegant, and probably not at all what xrhajj has in mind, but it eliminates the wires.
Not sure about Bluetooth implementation, though.

What "clock" are you talking about?

It works on a 2.4Ghz spectrum, so there shouldnt be a speed issue of transferring data from the headphones to the iPod!! Unless I am missing something?

Yeah, I have an iRock and it doesn't work well unless it is pretty close to the antenna. Still, this shouldn't be an issue for the 3 or so feet between your pocket and your head.Originally posted by xrhajj
I have tried the iRock and it sucks, besides I can't use it while I'm jogging!!

723 Kbps is the speed....
and it is in the same spectrum of WiFI or 802.11 so there are still bit of issues about spectrum interference... ;-)

I think you missed the point..... the D-link is USB and the iPod is Firewire, so this device will not work with the iPod; and besides, who wants that ugly adapter mounted on the top of there iPod

I think you missed the point xrhajj. The bluetooth would not be for transferring files but for using wireless headphones so you could have the ipod running in a bag and have the headphones on your head, WITH NO WIRES.
The "point" to all of this is you can walk around without trailing a 6 foot wire behind you.

I didn't notice the user id of the thread starter xrhajj. I mistakenly got the idea from your d-link and ipod attachment statement that you wanted to transmit files with BT. I've been waiting to listen without wires for sometime now that's why I bought a T68 sorry

I ahvea HBH-15 from Ericsson, I use it with my T39, it's works very nicely, so if I have to fill up the car, I can still be talking to someone while pumping the gas. Anyhow, it's works nice, and no, it's not heavy at all. It get it's power from a little stand that you plug in, battery lasts a good 4-6 hours at least. It's a very good device, and I'd be overjoyed if the iPod came with Bluetooth (wait, no I wouldn't, because then I won't be able to use it wih MY iPod!! )
