What? Huh? There's Bluetooth in my touchy little iPod Touch? It's probably a given that many consumers had no idea the device has Bluetooth capabilities, remaining dormant... until now.

In all the hoopla regarding the iPhone and the upcoming 3.0 OS, it's less-than-loaded half-twin, the iPod Touch 2G (second generation), sat just off stage, wishing it could chime in on some of the spotlight. But, instead of sulking and hanging its head low, the iPod Touch listened, waited, bid its time until someone caught on that the new OS update would unlock a secret treasure laying dormant within. No, it's not an Alien embryo waiting to burst through the cavity of its slick, touchscreen surface. It's another blue little demon altogether: the sacred Bluetooth.

For many consumers, the revelation of this feature is quite a pleasant surprise. But for tech-savvy fans who have kept up with the technology powering the device, they may already be aware of the Broadcom BCM4325 wireless communications chip planted within; it was discovered back in September 2008 in a hardware tear-down performed by iFixit. To be more specific, the uncovered Broadcom chip was found capable of single-band 2.4GHz 802.11b/g, dual-band 2.4GHz and 5GHz 802.11a/b/g.  Additionally, it had Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR support and an advanced FM receiver. Simply put, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities were already present in the iPod Touch, with the latter deactivated via software.

At the time, it was widely speculated that the chip was mainly used to communicate with the Nike+ iPod sensor puck accessory, however some believed that perhaps Apple had other sinister plans for the Bluetooth portion, and just wasn't in the mood to share the Bluetooth goodness just yet. Evidently the speculators were correct, as it's now official that the iPod Touch 2G is fully capable of Bluetooth audio and data transmission, able to carry out Bluetooth functions such as wireless streaming 2-channel audio with A2DP, wireless accessory control (perhaps for gaming), and peer-to-peer connections. The upcoming 3.0 OS will enable these features, costing consumers $9.95 to upgrade the current OS to 3.0.

It's not uncommon to see device manufacturers stuff their products with deactivated components, or locking said components via firmware by the request of the supplier. Many Verizon subscribers have lashed out at the wireless provider, having "locked" the built-in GPS chip in BlackBerry devices from 3rd-party navigational applications. Thus, Verizon Wireless customers must subscribe to its VZNavigator subscription service, shelling out an additional $10 per month just for it use alone (not including any data packages). As it stands, BlackBerry users on Verizon cannot use the real-time navigational features in other applications such Google Maps, Yahoo maps and so on, having to settle with triangulation options instead.

However, for a one-time fee of $10, the 3.0 OS upgrade for Apple's iPod Touch seems to be worth every penny, offering not only the new Bluetooth features, but other vast improvements that will make the device that much more useful and fun to play. With peer-to-peer connections, gaming will become even more prominent on the device, offering local multiplayer support previously limited to Wi-Fi connections.

Look for the 3.0 OS upgrade sometime this summer

No, I don't mean the very best Bluetooth headset of all times, I mean one headset that you can use with your mobile phone, office desk phone, and VoIP-equipped PC.

There are a number of ways to get that goal, including Bluetooth-equipped office phones like the Cisco SPA525G Wireless IP Phone, but Plantronics' new Savi Go takes the first step toward a different approach. Savi Go offers a single wireless headset to connect to PC and mobile phone communications, along with a desktop stand and a Bluetooth dongle for Bluetoothless PCs. Importantly, the Savi Go headset uses multipoint technology to let users switch between mobile and PC calls at the touch of a button.

Plantronics also introduced Savi Office -- a single wireless headset for mixing desk phone calls with PC audio. To me, though, that has less value: I don't fully understand why you need VoIP if you've also got an office phone.

Both devices are pitched at Unified Communications applications, which I think is great. But the real value, for me, is getting to a point where I only need one headset. Right now, I have two headsets, one connected to my office phone, and another one for my mobile. (For my home office, I've got a wired headset that plugs into my portable phone.)

That's too many headsets. There's no good reason why anyone should have to have more than one. Kudos to Plantronics for trying to close the gap, but my dream is still a long way from reality.

Plantronics' efforts would be more impressive if Savi Go and Savi Office were savvy enough to be integrated into a single product. Plus, according to PC Magazine, the Savi Go will cost $380 when it ships this spring, and Savi Office lists for $200. Even top-rated Bluetooth headsets barely top a $100 street price.

Why isn't there a simple, inexpensive adapter for my office phone and my PC that would let me use my mobile phone's Bluetooth headset with all of them? That would truly create one headset to rule them all.

Motorola Japan have announced two new Bluetooth speakerphones and wireless speakers.  The Motorola EQ7, left, and the Motorola EQ5, right, were designed in collaboration with JBL, and each support the A2DP stereo Bluetooth profile and the AVRCP wireless control profile, and run on battery power for total flexibility.

The EQ7 takes two AA batteries and boasts up to 6hrs talktime or music playback.  It uses Class 1 Bluetooth for up to 100m range (with compatible phones, PMPs or Bluetooth dongles) and will automatically switch between music and incoming calls, resuming playback when you hang up.

As for the EQ5, it has a Li-Ion battery good for up to 8hrs talktime or music playback.  Maximum range is 10m and it has the same music/calls intelligent switching; Motorola have also given it SRS WOW HD audio processing.  Both devices have a 3.5mm input socket for plugging in a non-Bluetooth PMP.

The Motorola EQ7 is priced at €160 ($207) while the Motorola EQ5 comes in at €100 ($129).
