Hey everyone,

I updated the OS on my 1st Gen iPod touch to 3.0 and was wondering:
1) Can I now use bluetooth headphones with it?
2) Would I still need to use a bluetooth adapter?

Please let me know.

Thanks,
MK

Yes, you'll still need a bluetooth dock port adapter with a first gen Touch.

THIS is a decent one, and not very expensive.

Since the recommended BT adapter is OOS at Buy.com, anyone else have any recommendations? There is a Sony one at Amazon, but it is fairly pricey to just grab ...

iPod touch First Gen - Peer-to-Peer gaming with Bluetooth Adapter

Howdy, everyone!
I've been experimenting in my mind about peer-to-peer gaming on the first generation iPod touch with a Bluetooth adapter. Peer-to-Peer does work with WiFi networks on the first Gen iPod touch, but that's no fun where there aren't any WiFi networks around.

So, I've been wondering. Does anyone know if a Bluetooth adapter for the iPod would detect another iPod/iPhone using Bluetooth peer-to-peer gaming? Or is it limited to stereo/wireless headphones.

I know that the iPod touch 2nd Gen and the iPhone 3G/s get an added preference pane in Settings, that allows you to turn Bluetooth on and off. Would the first generation iPod touch/iPhone suddenly have that pane?

I'd greatly appreciate it if someone responds. It will save me spending money on a couple Bluetooth adapters that might be of no use to me. I might make my own post in case people have abandoned this one.
Thanks!

Right now the 1st gen touch isn't smart enough to know what you have plugged into the dock port. As far as it knows a bluetooth adapter there is just another speaker dock.
