Apple Bluetooth on the iPhone

March 16th, 2009 · 1 Comment · iphone

Now that I have a good bluetooth headset (the Jawbone 2), I need to toggle the bluetooth interface on and off all the time on the iPhone. When I don’t need it, switching off saves battery. Normally it make sense to have the bluetooth on/off setting under, well, settings (settings – general, to be precise). However, the Apple software limits the use of the bluetooth interface to nothing except making phone calls. So why is the bluetooth on/off switch a switch within the phone application?

I hope the iPhone 3.0 software (tomorrow!) enables A2DP bluetooth support so that I can listen to podcast on my bluetooth headset while walking to work.

    Finally, iPhone OS 3.0, due out Summer time, will have A2DP, which means I can listen to music and podcast via the bluetooth headset.
