About Me

Semi-retired technology (originally) entreprenuer living in Seattle with my partner, Michael, and our three cats: Barnum, Bailey and Buster.  Currently mostly on hiatus from technology; exploring new things I couldn't when I worked full-time.  And...continuing my love of all goods baked.

iPod Touch has Bluetooth

Okay.  Let's get this party started! 

Did you know that your iPod touch could have bluetooth capability?  Yes sir.  If you have gen. 2 hardware or newer and you've upgraded to the 3.0 or greater version of OS.  How do you know if you have gen. 2 hardware?  Look at the back of your iPod touch.  If you have an oval shaped antenna cover in the upper left corner.  Check out this pic.  Pair that with a set of bluetooth headphones and you are good to go.

Though I am not clear if this is hardware or software issue, the current iPod/iPhone bluetooth AVCRP implementation only supports volume/stop/play but not skip.  Still, not having a cable between you and the iPod while running on a treadmill is a godsend.
