Well, let's start from the beginning. iPhone 3.0 OS is the next generation operating system for the iPhone, iPod Touch and next Apple devices (who knows what they will be).
More than 100 new features will be added, and this time Stereo Bluetooth will not be neglected too. Oh, how many speculations were caused by the absence of A2DP in iPhone. Whys and whens filled up all the comments and gadget forums. Now an agony of suspense and the anxious expectations are over :)
Let's see what else we get:
Concerning music:
Note synching with iTunes
Shake to shuffle music
From third-party applications: Audio recording and accessing the iPhone/iPod music library.
On most desktops the Bluetooth hardware is represented by a Bluetooth dongle, connected to an external interface - such as Serial or USB. To make this hardware recognized by OS, Bluetooth drivers should be installed. Bluetooth services, available to OS and users, depend on drivers' manufacturer and version. By combining a dongle and drivers, or picking up drivers for a dongle individually, you can get any Bluetooth services specified by Bluetooth standards, including A2DP. This solution is affordable and preserves sound quality.
Now let's examine A2DP availability on various OS.
When did you hear the term A2DP for the first time? Not long ago, I think. Er... maybe you haven't heard it at all? Oh, it is easy to remember and understand! Several years ago a wireless Bluetooth A2DP-enabled stereo headset seemed to be a notion from science fiction. Now it is quite a common thing for many people, and not so expensive.
Maybe you are going to buy a stereo headset, but don't know how to choose it? Well, if you don't want to be confused, search for:
Wireless – and there will be no wires to untangle;
Bluetooth – you will be able to answer calls without taking the earphones off;
A2DP – to have a perfect STEREO audio, rather than generic mono sounds at phone line quality.
Samsung haven't rested on its laurels after Instinct release. Now they present another one touchscreen miracle: SGH-i900 Omnia phone. Unlike iPhone, this gadget is A2DP-enabled, has FM radio with RDS, and a MicroSD card slot. Also it sports 5 megapixel camera with auto focus and face and smile detection, video support in the form of DivX, XviD, H.264, WMV and MP4. Omnia runs Microsoft's Windows Mobile Professional 6.1 operating system. Also you can find there a 3.2-inch wide QVGA display (240 x 400 pixels), an optical mouse, the screen with Samsung's TouchWiz user interface and on-screen QWERTY keyboard. There is a support for quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE and fast 3G HSDPA at 7.2Mbps, and Wi-fi connectivity.
