The bluetooth is for the IPHONE.

In a Q&A, an Apple representative stated that bluetooth was indeed unlockable on the iPod touch 2G.

Q: Bluetooth on the iPod touch?
A: Bluetooth is a capability we can “unlock” on the latest-gen iPod touch.

Last Q&A

also if you watch the keynote they show the peer to peer working with ipods and iphone's together, via BLUETOOTH so yes bluetooth is unlocked in the ipod touch 2g, how unlocked i guess we really wont know for sure untill 3.0 releases. So far we know a2dp and peer to peer games with no pairing required and communicating with all sorts of devices, such as diabetic monitors (as demo'ed in the keynote) Most likely file sharing is not unlocked however which is why dev team will still be great for this

Wow, this is something that I've been waiting for... Finally there is another Bluetooth device to pair with my notebook as well as Sony Ericsson phone, this is long overdue for the iPod touch! :cool:

If Apple unlocked the bluetooth in 2G . That would be much more easier for dev team to build an advanced version Bluetooth progeam for 2G. Such as file transfer function...and more. like iBluetooth or Sweettoot.

Sorry to break it to you all but the Bluetooth "unlock" of the 2G only means that it won't be locked to using only the Nike+ device. It will be used for A2DP and peer-to-peer gaming, I HIGHLY doubt Apple will be adding file sharing through bluetooth any time soon.

Just my 2 cents.

He's right. It's not [going to be] fully unlocked on 3.0 (or 3-oh, as Forstall calls it.).

What would you call it besides "3-oh" ?

ya and they also said peer to peer for games and more so dose that mean you can use the peer to peer to share music to friends? i know the zune has that where you can send a song to a friend to preview and it deletes it self after a few days

No, you can't share music (yet). But after the 3.0 OS is jailbroken, I'm pretty sure there's gonna be an app that will allow you to share you library.

Jailbreak + BT unlock = complete BT.
we don't need apple for this. we just need the unlock.

It's always been unlocked. It's still not fully unlocked, however.

Everyone, stop quoting that shitty Q and A from Engadget. They're not unlocking it that much more than it already was. It's not going to be fully unlocked.

Past: Locked = Only For Nike+
Present: Still locked (but supports more devices) = Only for Nike+ / iPod Touch / iPhone / Maybe computers, I don't know
Future: Unlocked (Maybe iBluetooth can be modified to support the 2G) = Any device with Bluetooth, including cellphones.

So you're now arguing the semantic of what locked and unlocked means?

Alright, Mr. Mature.

It was locked, and is still locked. It will not be unlocked for some time.

@Augusta lool... man that tar is so ironic.

I wonder if it'll work as good though?


also, guys, stop saying iTouch, we're not talking about a DS FlashCart, we're talking about the ipod touch lol.

Last time I checked the iTouch does not have a bluetooth chip in it xD

They did say for peer-to-peer games, because they said peer-to-peer games used bluetooth, then went out to say three seconds later an example of someone being in a car playing between iPhones and iPod touches.

I do hope they unlock it for wireless headsets and such, that would be nice, and they should, because people know about it now since they said it was a feature they could unlock, people know about it, so Apple has to do it now.

Yeah i cant wait, the down side the update cost $

Yea, there'd be no point in bringing it up, then not doing it. That'd be a nice feature.

Also, I like your sig. Oo

Why the hell do you guys care about bluetooth so much. Half the people who try to act cool and go with the flow don't even plan to use bluetooth ffs

Just outta curiosity, what's so exciting about bluetooth.

lol, oh man... :facepalm:

What rock have you been under?

I don't believe you because you wouldn't be asking such a rediculous question then... Anyway...

I quess for most pple the possibility to use it is enough to be exited :) Also some have bluetooth headsets from their mobile and now they could also use it with the ipod touch (2g :P)

2 words, Wireless Earbuds

I believe I read somewhere the it2g also has a FM receiver in the chip. What are the chances they will enable this feature?

I believe they said devs would be able to interact with other hardware via the dock connector and Bluetooth. That tells me that the bt should be able to work with other headsets,etc.

You read semi-correctly, it is indeed the bluetooth chip which can recieve FM frequencies.

No there is a fm receiver chip.

My only interest is to use my BT headphones, but as for other BT functionality I don't really care.

I use a bluetooth headset paired with my cellphone when I ride my bike. I would much rather use my iPod, but I don't want to mess with the wires while on the bike.

The good news for me is that I can now pair my iPod with my Motorola S9 stereo bluetooth headphones. That's what's exciting for me.

My Plantronics 855 have been screaming at me ever since I got a 2G.

these should work because my ipod touch 2g can find and pair with my phone

If we fully "unlock" the iPod touch, can we use it like the Samsung P3
In which case, we would only have to purchase a crappy phone and use the iPod as a front end, only keeping the phone in our pockets.
And this is pushing it, but if the crappy phone had GPS and 3G... think of the possibilities...

To the person above, can you dial with your iPod?

no no its just that it can find and pair with my phone. Strangely it always says my phone is disconnected

Hey is it true that you can use bluetooth on your phone to make wifi for your ipod??

If the touch has full bluetooth who needs an iPhone.....

Use a crappy phone as a modem to send and receive stuff for the iPod..

The only thing that I can see that could differ the iPod and the iPhone would be one has Camera and the other is ALOT thinner... (if the iPod 3G has a camera then.........*more dots*)

Dialer - use the phone for that with a frontend for the iPod (yes apple can freak about this) connection via bluetooth..
GPS - connect over bluetooth?
Internet - if the phone is unlocked then bluetooth....?

I'm not sure about GPS, but I'm pretty sure it can be done.

Hey is it true that you can use bluetooth on your phone to make wifi for your ipod??

Absolutely not. You can not make WiFi from nothing (a cell connection).

Actually, there are some cell phones that run Windows Mobile that can create a small WiFi network that uses the phone as a gateway so that the laptop can connect to the phone to get internet access.

InsertiPodHere,

I can dial my Touch 2G, with fring, with Truphone, with IM+ for Skype.

I would love to have Bluetooth jawbone, on VoIP.

Yes you can. Just buy that like 60$ XGPS thing that plugs into the dock and youre all set :D i think..

Then the other models in the range will be called iClassic and iShuffle? Also, if someone is pissed off and shouts "iPod touch, my @$$", it will be really funny if he were to say "iTouch, my @$$" instead, lol! ;)

And speaking of the Bluetooth, its good that Apple has finally unlocked the full capability of this feature in our 2G iPod touch... From what I have heard before, the nike+iPod feature makes use of the limited BT capability (before the OS update)... Otherwise how does the iPod communicate with the Nike sensor in our shoes while doing our jogs?

Even if Apple is not interested in allowing everything in what the bluetooth of the iPod Touch is concerned, they did the hardest part which was unlocking it...the teams that were working on this can finally relax and the people working in the Cydia repositories can start thinking about features that were already talked about here.....use a crappy phone as a somewhat of a server and use the iPod Touch to send text messages,voice calls,GPS through a bluetooth gps device,so many different scenarios that would make a grown man cry of joy :p

Jailbreak + 3.0 + Bluetooth.....what more could you ask for from your iPod Touch ;)

yes iPod Touch....calling it iTouch is just....kinda retarded :p

So is the feeling that when version 3.0 comes out the bluetooth will be unlocked but not fully that it would support a bluetooth GPS such as the Freedom2000 (http://www.freedominput.com/site/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=111&Itemid=81)? In other words to fully use the GPS you would have to jailbreak the bluetooth capability further for this to work. I use the Freedom 2000 with my Blackberry but having the capability with the Ipod Touch would be awesome.

well it might be possible to use Freedom2000 ...but we might probably need software installed on the iPod

probably the software of the blackberry or of a PDA can be adapted to the iPod Touch

Does that make any sense? Software of a BlackBerry or PDA adapted to the touch.

You're saying we need to install bluetooth from a BlackBerry on a bluetooth-enabled device?

Hmmm, there is a 3.0 FAQ on Engadget:

Will the $10 iPod touch 3.0 upgrade include the Bluetooth support? From Chris S
Yes, Apple mentioned that yesterday. Now that iPhone OS supports stereo Bluetooth (A2DP), Apple is going to unlock that feature on the second-gen iPod touch. (The Bluetooth chip isn't in the first-gen iPod touch, however.)

Glad it's known now. I will get me some stereo blue-tooth headphones now thank you very much.

Does that mean I can have a Bluetooth jawbone, for VoIP?

He's right. It's not [going to be] fully unlocked on 3.0 (or 3-oh, as Forstall calls it.).

not yet, of course. wait until the jailbreak...
