My iPod Touch 2G is running the 3.0 firmware just fine, but i'm wondering what is up with this.If you go to settings and then general it says bluetooth!You can turn it on,search for devices,be discoverable, i'm even paired with my phone!But(sorry for starting a sentence with but), my phone recognizes it as a headset and i can't send/receive any files.WHat all CAN I do with it???

Bluetooth headphones, bluetooth to bluetooth gaming, that sort of stuff.

Why don't you check up on the other Bluetooth thread? should answer questions you have.

The only "official" use apple revealed at the event regarding the iPod Touch 2G specifically was Peer-to-Peer gaming, and I think maybe even A2DP Stereo.

EDIT: Theres also the ability to "talk" to 3rd party hardware (for example, a bluetooth remote for your Stereo)

*Sigh* ok....now my motorola Hint is all retarded connected to my iPod Touch...oh well..Bluetooth icon looks cool....:/

i got bluetooth connected to my computer, and umm..... its hella glitchy. the song was coming out my computer speakers, but way messed up. i cant even describe it. the song was sped up, or playing at a different pitch or something.

but yea, i grinned from ear to ear when i saw that bluetooth symbol light up.

and PS: they need to move that bluetooth symbol in the music controls. it makes my volume bar shorter, and it looks weird. oh well, i guess i could get used to it.

Remember this is just a beta version. I'm sure they'll be changes in the official one. This one is bound to have bugs.

Not surprising... Those of you who went for the beta version are sure to encounter all sorts of bugs and which Apple will rectify before the OS' official release this coming June... And yeah, the sight of the Bluetooth icon lighting up gives a nice feeling of finally fully-utilizing the touch 2G's BT capability! :)

question what is A2DP Stereo? I have to ask...

its a profile that the bluetooth uses to wirelessly transmit stereo audio check up on wikipedia it will give you a more advanced explanation

EDIT ---- Went and copied it for you


Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP)
This profile defines how high quality audio (stereo or mono) can be streamed from one device to another over a Bluetooth connection.[1] For example, music streamed from a mobile phone to a wireless headset.

A2DP was initially used in conjunction with an intermediate Bluetooth transceiver that connects to a standard audio output jack, encodes the incoming audio to a Bluetooth-friendly format, and sends the signal wirelessly to Bluetooth headphones that decode and play the audio. Bluetooth headphones, especially the more advanced models, often come with a microphone and support for the Headset (HSP), Hands-Free (HFP) and Audio/Video Remote Control (AVRCP) profiles.

A2DP is designed to transfer a uni-directional 2-channel stereo audio stream, like music from an MP3 player, to a headset or car radio.[2] This profile relies on AVDTP and GAVDP. It includes mandatory support for the low complexity SBC codec (not to be confused with Bluetooth's voice-signal codecs such as CVSDM), and supports optionally: MPEG-1 , MPEG-2, MPEG-4, AAC, and ATRAC, and is extensible to support manufacturer-defined codecs. Most bluetooth stacks implement the SCMS-T digital rights management (DRM) scheme. In these cases it is possible to connect the A2DP headphones for high quality audio.
