What would Bluetooth iPod do?

By Barb Dybwad

You know, this stuff is starting to get cool.
Given that the BlueTrip is a great idea, and if you have the $150 to plunk down for it, it rawks. But I'm imagining a host of other wireless iPod options emerging. I want to be able to do the following kinds of things:

  • Just buy the Bluetooth transmitter for the iPod at a much lower price, and sync it to my Powerbook instead of all
    of this dock nonsense.
  • Use said Bluetooth transmitter to broadcast tunes to my laptop, which is hooked into the stereo (i.e.
    cheapskates' version of the BlueTrip)
  • Use said Bluetooth adapter to broadcast tunes from my iPod to my website via my imaginary Apple-Motorola iTunes
    phone. Mobile DIY radio!
  • Use said Bluetooth adapter in combination with the next-generation iPod, which is bound to include voice
    recording capabilities (it's *time* already! sheesh!), to broadcast my own yammering to the web. Mobile
    podcasting!

What would you do with a Bluetooth iPod? Feel free to combine with other imaginary devices at will. :)
