iPod Touch v2 Secretly Has Bluetooth, But Will Apple Enable It?

[wraggster]

In their teardown of the iPod touch version 2, iFixit found a secret surprise: A Broadcom Bluetooth chipset! Though totally unannounced and not listed on the spec page (Apple says Nike+ doesn't use Bluetooth), the iPod touch's Bluetooth chipset supports 2.1+EDR. We don't know for sure yet if it has A2DP, which would let you use stereo headphones—and be another hardware one-up over the iPhone besides ">the built-in Nike+ functions. We've got our fingers crossed—what else would it be used for? Update: MacRumors notes that Nike+ uses the same 2.4GHz frequency as Bluetooth, so that might be what's going on here.

Don't hold your hopes if your thinking of transferring music unless somebody creates an app.

if glovePIE and blue soleil can get your wiimote working on your pc why can't an app exploit this bluetooth radio into having further functionality?
