I have a mono (non A2DP) plantronics 520 headset, and it actually pairs with the ipad2 wifi and can be used with telephony apps. Right now I tested it with GoogleVoice and TextFree with Voice (non Ipad version). I also tested it with skype, but skype didnt seem to recognize it.

Just thought was kind of cool and didn't see it posted so wanted to share.

Also http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3647 shows ipad 2 has handsfree profile.

Its been stated before that the iPad+Bluetooth Headset+VOiP Apps work well together.

To me this just seems like to much effort for what, my iPhone is always with me.

Ipad 1 didnt support the handsfree profile. Ipad2 does. Thats the difference.

But I agree that this isnt necessarily handy for all people.
