iPhone Gets Stereo Bluetooth A2DP Adaptor

The iPhone (both 2.5G and 3G) might not come with an A2DP Bluetooth in place, but you can easily add it on yourself with this Infinixx adaptor. It’s US$62, but works with the iPhone, iPod touch, iPod nano, iPod classic, iPod video, iPod colour and iPod mini, meaning you can basically turn any fairly recent iPod into a wireless stereo device. You can also pair your Bluetooth headset to the iPhone directly to answer calls, which isn’t supported through the dongle transmitter. Until Apple decides to put A2DP in the iPhone itself–and shorten the battery life even more–this is your only hope for wireless stereo music.

AU: Motorola offer an A2DP dongle for iPods – not sure if it will work with the iPhone though…

    That’s an awesome idea. I reckon I’m going to have to get one of those.

    I seem to be amongst the minority in waiting to see if apple adopt A2DP%2C I use A2DP all the time on my E90 at the moment and couldn’t imagine going back to wired headphones for the trip home.

    And This Is News?

    I’ve had a Jabra dongle for over a year now that was in the disposal bin that still works. Before that a cheap no-name brand one. Used on my iPod Photo, then Touch.
