iPod touch iPod touch - Bluetooth!!! missing features ...

[awmazz]

Are those the innards of an iPhone, emotion? Good research. If the iPod Touch uses the same, then the update on crunchgear.com is inaccurate then. And crunchgear appears to be wrong about FCC approval as well, then.

If they are different chips and there's no BT chip in the iPod, then definitely no BT at all until a full revB version with a new logic board.

So it's a matter of what are the chances the chip is there, or space has been left on the board for it? I'm thinking Apple would have looked into expansion enough to see BT as a future option, without having to redesign the whole logic board? Then again, maybe not...

It's from Arstechnica.com.

It always baffles me how Apple doesn't seem to be that into BT. I mean those remotes that come with every machine (well my laptop has one) should be a bluetooth device really.

So, I also find it odd that the Touch doesn't have it mentioned. Unless they're thinking that that feature will mean everyone who will have to wait until December for an iPhone (UK) will just go out and buy a N95 and tether a Touch to it.

When the iPhone comes out then BT might be enabled if it's there (or maybe they'll sort A2DP support in OSX, finally, when Leopard comes out and give to the Touch and iPhone in an update?)?

We need to wait until 24.9.07 for Arstechnica's disection.
