Bluetooth iPod adapter?
Apple is due to release a Bluetooth adapter for its iPod portable media player, according to a representative of stereo manufacturer Pioneer. Pioneer's new DEH head unit, which includes a Bluetooth transmitter, is reported as not only connecting to cellphones for hands-free calling but also as supporting audio streaming from iPods. Apple will in turn release a Bluetooth adapter of its own to make this possible, according to Pioneer's Michael Broadhurst. Such pre-announcements, however, have been historically inaccurate. In February 2005, a Motorola project manager incorrectly told Radio France about a Bluetooth-enabled iPod that never materialized, according to Electronista.
