About Bluetooth in iPod Touch
iPhone OS 3.0 update brings stereo Bluetooth support to the 2nd generation iPod Touch, although it will only work with compatible Bluetooth stereo headphones or speakers. You wont be able to use just about any Bluetooth device with it as reported by many users. The iPhone 3.0 unlocks Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR with support for wireless streaming 2-channel audio with A2DP, wireless accessory control, and peer-to-peer connections.
It’s still very crippled as most of you might not even be able to use that Bluetooth hands free headset you got for your cell phone, to use with your iPod Touch to Skype, which is really unfair to be honest as Bluetooth is supposed to be an open protocol. You can get the Motorola S9, if your current Bluetooth headphones are not compatible with your iPod Touch.
The Broadcom BCM4325 wireless communications chip in iPod Touch which provides the Bluetooth capabilities also has an FM transmitter in it which still doesn’t work even after the OS 3.0 update. You might have to wait for OS 4.0 to unlock it.

please tell me more if other wireless headphone with microphone available to work with Bluetooth on the iPod Touch (2nd gen.). THANKS!! in advance. I really love this article.
Yes going by them saying it can be used with skype. But i prefer to use the iphone wired headphones with mic for my ipod touch and they are garunteed to work.
Fm transmitter woooot….. Really worth buying this baby and all we have to do is just wait… Yeah i can wait, there wouldnt be a problem. Oh yeah hope an update will allow this bluetooth to be used for normal file transfer between phones.

Does anyone know if there is a way to use this Bluetooth feature in playing our I-Pod touch music through our cars with the bluetooth feature? This was the main reason I bought the upgrade and I can’t seem to make it work. Come on guys at Apple. You guys are smart enough to make this happen.
I have successfully connected my iPad Touch with my Motorola T505 hands free unit to broadcast over FM to the car stereo. The sound quality is adequate but not anywhere near as good as the cassette adapter. I live in Toronto and the FM Band is saturated with stations both local and distance so getting a station lock that will last for more than few minutes seems to be the biggest, and most annoying, issue.
