iPod touch There might be Bluetooth on the new iPod touch

[acearchie]

hrm... kinda looks like someone from apple was lazy and took an iPhone photo from their archives and forgot about the BT symbol....

But why would they have bothered to have written iPod as the WiFi network!

And now its been confirmed that there is no bluetooth im really confised!

It's possible the preproduction models had bluetooth but it was removed for some reason. Last minute changes happen all the time.

RE: iPod Touch / Bluetooth

I hope the bluetooth module is there - but they haven't enabled it yet....

Perhaps in the future there'll be some kind of firmware update that will enable it as it wasn't ready for the initial production release... ?

I think it would be a bit of a lack if there's no bluetooth as well as no dedicated email / push email functionality....

That's what's holding me back at the moment...

Though it's certainly beautiful....with or without !

I say it's a way to get us all to upgrade to Leopard. A2DP support for stereo headphones in Leopard and on the iPhone and the iPod Touch

...not impossible at least.

Even curiouser:

I wonder what an OSX-less iPhone screen looks like? Have that look and the Bluetooth icon?
