Hi, are there any bluetooth earphones/headphones available for the iPod Shuffle 2G?

I've been searching for such devices that are compatible with the shuffle 2G and a Nokia N70 (bluetooth v.2.0) mobile.

I've found a couple that are stylish but unfortunately not compatible and the few that are compatible look like they were made in the 80's (ie headphones are too heavy/bulky).

I'm basically looking for a 'compact' 3.5mm audio/jack connector that has bluetooth, even if it's wired as long as it connects using the 3.5mm jack and bluetooth compatible with an N70.

Any help would be appreciated ;)

Well after much googling and forum lurking, I've decided to go with the Bluetooth Stereo Music Angel - Universal (by PMR-Technology.com) from Expansys.com.au for AU$86.95 which is reasonably compact (i.e. not 80's inspired), is compatible with the iPod Shuffle [orange] 2G (using the 3.5mm jack) and bluetooth compliant with a Nokia N70.

Music Angel specs:
- Compliant with Bluetooth V1.1 and 1.2 specifications and fully qualified Class 2 device.
- Typical operation now 20m distance.
- Can use the same stereo earphones supplied with the MP3 player
- Advanced call handling features including reject, mute and transfer of calls
- Supports call waiting, and three way calling
- Can be used as a Bluetooth Headset with earphones (not supplied)
- Compact and ergonomic design
- Charged from USB port, USB charger cable supplied 4hrs talk time max. , 100hrs standby (phone dependent)
- Music Angel has visual and audible indicators
- Music Angel Universal 46x26x10.7mm, small and light weight Integrated clip for easy attachment to shirt or blouse etc FCC, CE and BQB Qualified

Additionally, although I really like the Apple iPhone concept, since it lacks 3.5G/HSxPA functionality, think I'll remain a Nokia user even though the Samsung U100 is appealing being 5.9mm thick but with no WiFi. I hope Apple will consider using WiFi for the next generation of iPods.
