Currently all the Internet people are stirred by the promises of Walt Mossberg: 3G version of the iPhone has to be released within 60 days (maybe 5-th of June). Will Apple deploy A2DP among other features? We can only wait and see... Is it possible? Yes, it can be true - a lot of users enjoy A2DP on their Leopards (we won't mention the quality of such A2DP, this is absolutely another cup of tea).
I can't believe iPhone Software 2.0 won't satisfy grumbling users who lack Bluetooth Stereo and feel deprived, because it's a shame for iPhone not to have the feature that most of modern devices can boast!
Not only Mossberg's words are referred to. iPod Touch Fans state almost the same.
I wonder - will the new firmware be available for all the current iPhone users, or it will be a privilege for a new buyers?
And one thought doesn't leave me - if the primary iPhone version had A2DP, would the rumors be so persistent and would the iPhone be still so popular including the current new wave of publicity and popularity? The last several days the name of iPhone is oneveryone'stongueallthetime, and for Apple such a racket is definitely advantageous and paying.
In the past we already discussed the iPhone issue. Look here if you are not up to speed. By the way, why not to talk about it in our Forum?
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.
Parrot introduces the new DS3120, a wireless digital MP3 radio system capable of playing all your favourite tracks from a wide range of sources (Bluetooth, FM radio, USB, SD, iPod, line-in socket) and serves as a hands-free kit for all your calls by connecting to your phone by Bluetooth.
