Bluetooth technology is improving rapidly and as a result the quality of its use as a means for wirelessly transferring digital audio signals is also improving.
These improvements have led to the integration of Bluetooth technology and iPods
We receive numerous inquiries from our visitors who want to know if Apple has plans for developing a Bluetooth iPod. The truth is: at this point we can only speculate.
However, we will point out that there currently are several Bluetooth iPod accessories on the market and there are more expected.
The following is a list of Bluetooth iPod accessories currently available:
Scosche IPBCK Stereo Bluetooth Connection Kit for iPods
*** Winner of the 2006 CES Innovations Award ***
The Scosche IPBCK stereo Bluetooth kit provides users with a digital wireless connection between their iPods and car stereos.
This Bluetooth iPod accessory was named an Editor's Choice by Popular Mechanics magazine and "Best New Accessory" at the 2005 SEMA electronics show. The IPBCK stereo Bluetooth iPod accessory kit is one of several kits among Scoshe's BlueLife System™ line of Bluetooth iPod accessories and kits. The IPBCK Bluetooth iPod accessory kit includes a Bluetooth wireless transmitter with built-in rechargeable battery, a receiver module, a car power adapter, an audio cable and a pair of mounting options designed specifically for iPods.
Simply plug the wireless Bluetooth transmitter into your iPod, connect the receiver module to your stereo's auxiliary input, and you’re ready to go. Once you hit play on your iPod, the high-quality sound will be heard through your car stereo.
The Scosche BlueLife System™ line also offers a different Bluetooth iPod system which doubles as a car kit for hands-free cell phones. You can answer your cell phone and enjoy the safety and convenience of hands-free communication, allowing you to keep both hands on the wheel.
These headphones allow you to be up to 30 feet away from your iPod while still enabling you to listen to your
iPod tunes. The headphones include a wireless Bluetooth adapter that snaps into your iPod. The lightweight, behind-the-head headband provides a comfortable and secure fit. You are able to adjust volume, play, pause, or select tracks all from the headphones.
BlueTrip Wireless Bluetooth Audio for iPod
Manufactured by Griffen Technology, BlueTrip is a Bluetooth iPod accessory which offers CD quality sound in a home-stereo environment. Your iPod, equipped with BlueTrip, becomes the remote control. The BlueTrip draws its power directly from your iPod, so no extra cables or batteries are required. Furthermore, because it uses Bluetooth technology, walls, ceilings and windows are no longer an interference when using the remote.
Belkin TuneStage Bluetooth Receiver and Transmitter for iPod
The Belkin Bluetooth Receiver and Transmitter for iPod also works like the Griffen BlueTrip, allowing you to listen to your iPod through your home stereo system. The Belkin TuneStage turns your iPod into the ultimate remote control. Includes a gold series 3.5mm-to-2 RCA Stereo Cable. Uses Bluetooth Advanced v1.2
Jabra A125s Bluetooth Stereo Adapter for iPod
In addition to offering state of the art Bluetooth Headsets, Jabra also provides a Bluetooth iPod accessory. The Jabra A125s iPod Adapter adds Bluetooth connectivity to your iPod. Like other Bluetooth iPod adapters, the A125s lets you wirelessly listen to music through a pair of Bluetooth stereo headphones or a Bluetooth stereo headset. But, what separates this Bluetooth iPod accessory from the others is its unparalleled compatibility. It connects to almost all iPods, including the iPod mini, iPod video and iPod nano. The rechargeable battery offers 10 hours of listening time and 250 hours of standby time.
naviPlay™ Bluetooth Stereo Kit
The naviPlay™ Bluetooth Stereo Kit is Ten Technology's original Bluetooth iPod accessory. It is designed for the active listener and is especially nice for those of you who are always listening to your
music while running on a treadmill or riding a bike. The kit comes with the NaviPlay remote, NaviPlay iPod adapter, power supply and AC cord, lanyard, belt
clip for remote, clips for various iPod models, armband, and quick start
guide.
If you enjoy listening to music and own an iPod, this is the perfect product for you! It enables you to wirelessly stream music from your iPod to your Bluetooth Stereo Headphones. Now you can listen to your favorite music stored on your iPod, and never miss a call.
naviPlay™ Bluetooth Stereo Headset Kit
This Bluetooth iPod accessory is manufactured by Ten Technology, the first company to ever use Bluetooth technology to wirelessly stream iPod music. The Bluetooth Stereo Headset Kit includes a Bluetooth headset and a Bluetooth iPod adapter. The headset allows you to transmit high-fidelity stereo music from any Bluetooth enabled audio player or cellular phone and the iPod adapter will work with all recent iPod models, except the shuffle.
The naviPlay™ Bluetooth Stereo Headset also functions as a Bluetooth hands free solution for your Bluetooth enabled cellular phone. The headset allows you to switch from listening to music to handling calls without having to pick up your phone. When receiving a call you will hear your phone ring, and then you can answer it and pause your iPod with one push of the button.
