You should say there are no good bluetooth earbuds available, yet. I imagine if Apple encorperated bluetooth, they'd make some of their own.]]>Feb 8th 2006 3:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/portal-player-adds-wifi-and-bluetooth-spurring-new-round-of-ipo/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/portal-player-adds-wifi-and-bluetooth-spurring-new-round-of-ipo/I'd much much prefer the smaller nano-phone though.

Sorry about you loosing you job at Dell. But I'm sure you'll be able to get a job at Creative.

Someone with your insight to what makes a good device deserves a second chance.

Good luck!

hahah, you have a PROFOUND misunderstanding of exactly why the iPod is #1. You dont think a fantastic interface has anything to do with it? Nor does a straightforward elegant software interface on the computer? ...not to mention "Just Marketing" is a pretty radical understatement.

iPod haters are all the same. :P

It would be pretty nice to see apple push bluetooth or wifi (or both) in their iPods, to yet again take an idea many tried and failed at and end up making a standard out of it. :)

Bluetooth would primarily be great in a car... perhaps interfaced with a bluetooth enabled Alpine KCA-420i... If the batter would hold up, my library would be accessible simply by having my iPod in my pocket or backpack while i'm in the car. :)]]>Feb 8th 2006 3:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/portal-player-adds-wifi-and-bluetooth-spurring-new-round-of-ipo/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/portal-player-adds-wifi-and-bluetooth-spurring-new-round-of-ipo/
Honestly, WiFi might be it, streaming your iPod content from your iPod to your WiFi MCPC, the Xbox360, or the Apple Media Center. ]]>Feb 8th 2006 3:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/portal-player-adds-wifi-and-bluetooth-spurring-new-round-of-ipo/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/portal-player-adds-wifi-and-bluetooth-spurring-new-round-of-ipo/Feb 8th 2006 4:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/portal-player-adds-wifi-and-bluetooth-spurring-new-round-of-ipo/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/portal-player-adds-wifi-and-bluetooth-spurring-new-round-of-ipo/Feb 8th 2006 4:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/portal-player-adds-wifi-and-bluetooth-spurring-new-round-of-ipo/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/portal-player-adds-wifi-and-bluetooth-spurring-new-round-of-ipo/Feb 8th 2006 4:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/portal-player-adds-wifi-and-bluetooth-spurring-new-round-of-ipo/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/portal-player-adds-wifi-and-bluetooth-spurring-new-round-of-ipo/Feb 8th 2006 5:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/portal-player-adds-wifi-and-bluetooth-spurring-new-round-of-ipo/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/portal-player-adds-wifi-and-bluetooth-spurring-new-round-of-ipo/Feb 8th 2006 7:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/portal-player-adds-wifi-and-bluetooth-spurring-new-round-of-ipo/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/portal-player-adds-wifi-and-bluetooth-spurring-new-round-of-ipo/Feb 8th 2006 9:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/portal-player-adds-wifi-and-bluetooth-spurring-new-round-of-ipo/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/portal-player-adds-wifi-and-bluetooth-spurring-new-round-of-ipo/
they all make you look like Princess Lea from star wars, are clunky, require a seperate charger, and the sound cannot compare to modern in-ear earphones or earbuds. of course you can get a bluetooth clip, but then you still have the cable so what's the point?

I say it's best to get good comfortable and stylish in-ears!]]>Feb 9th 2006 3:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/portal-player-adds-wifi-and-bluetooth-spurring-new-round-of-ipo/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/portal-player-adds-wifi-and-bluetooth-spurring-new-round-of-ipo/
