    Cool Bluetooth Add-Ons for Your iPod

    Apple Computer has allowed a few partners to made add-ons to the iPod, including some nifty Bluetooth devices. TEN Technology is determined to make the iPod remote-controllable. In the last year, the company has unveiled an infrared remote control and a Bluetooth wireless headphone adapter for the music player. The remote control, called NaviPod, requires that you plug a small receiver into the top of the iPod. The lithium battery-powered remote lets you skip through tracks, fast-forward, rewind, play, pause and adjust volume. It can't scroll through menus to select playlists. NaviPod, $50, is available for all generations of the iPod. TEN's Bluetooth headset adapter, NaviPlay, was originally supposed to be available by the first quarter of this year, but its debut has been delayed until later this summer. The product, designed for only third-generation iPods, plugs a Bluetooth transmitter into the dock connector. A receiver with a headphone jack picks up the signal and displays information about the song. It also has the same basic remote control functions.
