Bluetooth iPod gets thumbs down

Apple has scotched rumours that it plans to introduce an iPod with in-built Bluetooth support. Apple’s head honcho Steve Jobs denied reports - and fervent prayers - that the iPod would support Bluetooth at today’s Apple Expo in Paris. We think he was a bit harsh on Bluetooth’s performance – especially considering version 2.0 - but here’s what he said: “The problem with Bluetooth headphones is that it’s not just recharging your iPod, you have to recharge your headphones too. People hate it. There are quality issues - the bandwidth isn’t high enough, and even if it does get there some day, people don’t want to recharge their headphones.” Ipod_colour_4We think that for the true freedom of being able to wirelessly listen to your audio around the house without having the iPod on you - or needing third-party kit - people would get over it. Still, Steve has been known to change his mind before. Intel chips inside Apple Macs, anyone?

I'd be quite keen on using bluetooth headphones. If you're going to charge you ipod then it doesn't hurt to charge your headphones and then those annoying wires won't get in the way when listening to music.
