As already said, the iPhone does have OS X, this one just shipped without it somehow.
The more interesting point raised by this is the disabled Bluetooth icon.

I don't know if there is or isn't, but unless you can show me someone who has pulled one to pieces and looked, it's not completely beyond the realms of possibility.

It's not there. They're not going to lie in the specs. I mean, it would be useless, anyway. BT in the iPhone only supports voice and it's possible they could update it to support something like stereo headphones -- which are awful quality by the way -- but I doubt it. There's just no reason in a touch. Also, the devices look similar but they are not exactly the same.
Anyway, your photo sort of proves my point. The big red X under all reasonable circumstances of diagnostic software interface would mean hardware not present.
Why does everyone want the iPod touch to really be an iPhone with everything switched off when you can get an actual iPhone for the same price as the 16GB?
Because Apple don't say it's there on the specs page doesn't exactly prove a lot one way or the other
It *could* be there but not enabled by firmware, pending a future update when apple release their own stupidly over priced bluetooth matching headphones.
The red X doesn't mean much either, there's a red X on the battery next to it. You trying to tell me that means there's no battery?
What a ridiculous comparisonTelling me there's BT in the iPod touch is like telling me there's 16GB of flash in my iPhone and it's just waiting for Apple to enable access to it with a firmware update. It's so improbable it's tantamount to impossible.
Just like they didn't lie about including wireless N in the last gen iMacs?
What a ridiculous comparison
There is a reason why BT would be in the Touch, BT audio. It's a long way from impossible.
And you may well be right, hell, if he's said that you probably are. All I'm saying is that to dismiss it as impossible on the basis that Apple didn't mention it on their spec page is silly. Apple like to have a little something up their sleeve from time to time.Joswiak said the hardware is not in the current touch model. I'm going to go with what he said.

I don't know that should I laugh or cry when I see these posts where people jump to conclusions. One person got a touch with no OS installed: "OMG, touch does not have OS X after all!"

I'd cry. Like getting a DOA MacBook and saying OMG, MacBooks aren't really laptop computers after all, they are just sculptures of laptop computers.
A mod should edit the thread title its going to confuse a load of people. And annoy the rest of us.......
So...if these things do end up having a disabled Bluetooth chip in 'em, will you own up? I made a bet against Digital Skunk about the validity of the new iMac keyboards and I haven't seen hide nor hair of him since.
