Stereo Bluetooth and the iPhone

The iPhone OS 3 finally enabled a feature I have wanted for a very long time, A2DP or Stereo Bluetooth profile for you and I.

For a company renowned for music, it always seemed odd not to enable the iPhone for the best possible Bluetooth headphone connection, especially as it was just required some finessing in software. Yet now with OS 3, iPhone 3G owners can finally cut the cord.

Using an old Nokia HS-12W made for an easy connection to an upgraded iPhone, with reasonable sound quality, let down in this case by the poor speaker buds. Even the remote controls on the headset worked!

No doubt there will a plethora of new headsets coming to market in double quick time to fill the demand for this worthwhile iPhone upgrade.
