Does a ipod touch even have bluetooth? If it does it should connect like any other bluetooth. Just gotta make sure one or the other is discoverable.

But again, I'm pretty sure the ipod touch doesn't have bluetooth. Atleast mine didnt

I've got 3.0 on my IPod touch 16G & I have been all over it since the upgrade. .
There is no bluetooth Icon.
And how would an upgrade give anything "bluetooth" abilities if the hardware isn't there?
Do "bigger" (anything over 16G) IPod Touchs have bluetooth?
Confused & curious...

Why would you want to corrupt your BB by connecting it to an I-anything?

Actually the 2G iPod Touch does have Bluetooth, but it is limited (by software) to only connect to Nike+ accessories.

Its possible that a future software update will allow an iPod Touch to do other Bluetooth things...

Clexman is right on this one. It's all to do with workouts & using Nike/Ipod enabled equipment & shoes, etc...

Apple - Nike + iPod

But I do have my doubts that Apple will ever get into open talks with anyone to enable bluetooth with anything but Apple devices. But that's my personal opinion backed up by nothing at all.

But bottom line BlackBerryChamp: Ipods 2G & BB's can not share anything via bluetooth at this time.

Touch with 3.0 does indeed support Bluetooth.

New story.............. Do some research before you write fiction! The iPod Touch certainly does have Bluetooth and has has since the 3.0 s/w update.... And not just for iWalk (Nike.) I listen to music from mine in the truck all the time via Bluetooth.

$20 says I'm right...............

Alright, so we've established that the iPod Touch DOES have bluetooth capabilities AFTER installing the new 3.0 OS. Next question is, has anyone used the iPod Touch to connect to the internet throught the Blackberry bluetooth by pairing them? I only ask because I want to, but don't want to waste 10 bucks if they won't. I would rather waste it on apps for my Blackberry than giving it to Apple if they don't deserve it.

Thanks

I think we can agree that this technology is moving very fast. I mean, I'm a young guy (26) yet this whole Bluetooth thing is changing everything. If someone hasn't found a way to pair a 2nd or 3rd generation Ipod to a Blackberry, to in essence make a poor man's Iphone for other cellular carriers, they likely will soon.
