More evidence of iPod touch Bluetooth?

iPod touch Bluetooth

One of our readers, nintendodude, points out on our forums that the MobileBluetooth framework is present on the iPod touch, which is either further of evidence of Apple’s sloppy adaptation from the iPhone software, or for those that are still hopeful, of the existence of Bluetooth on the touch.

    Correct me if im wrong because i really have no knowledge of the devices, but if there was bluetooth in the touch wouldn’t they have found the radio in the teardowns?

    why would apple include bluetooth on a device and not advertise it? You guys are stupid? Do you think at some event in the future he is going to say “and today we are realeasing a software update for your ipod touch giving you bluetooth”?

    If there’s no bluetooth hardware, the existance of the software won’t do you any good. Obviously, the software support is there, since it’s there on the iPhone and they’re the same platform. By the way, it’s not a sloppy adaption if it’s something that a user never sees. The other thing with the iPod touch calling itself an iPhone is sloppy.

    yes, a few gadget nuts have taken a part the ipod touch and there is a lot of confusion. however, a few people have been getting ipod touches with no OSX. they get a weird bios screen with icons for the sensors and things, THERE IS A ICON FOR BLUETOOTH!! it is disabled when the battery is low like some devices and “not disabled but not enabled” when the battery has a good charge. i am convinced bluetooth exists. in answer to all this software crap, hackers have worked out how to get the touch to run iPhone apps and they have made their own. there have also been rumours of a version of skype for iphone and *hopefully* a bluetoothed ipod touch…..

    Because with Bluetooth, the iPod Touch becomes a Skype Phone; or even a full blown iPhone - ever used a Garmin Nuvi as a cell phone off a Bluetooth connection?

    If this gets hacked, there is no reason in the world to pay for an iPhone unless you have a real love-affair with AT&T’s service.

    Whose stupid now. Lack vision much?

    Don’t you want a mic for calling? I mean even for Skype. Or did I miss the microphone connector on my iPod Touch?
