Hello all, my first post here, but I've been reading and learning for quite a while. I am a recent iPod user due primarily to an unfortunate set of circumstances; I was recently diagnosed with a pretty significant hearing loss requiring aids, and as part of the process ended up with a set of hearing aids with some pretty amazing technology, they are called Oticon Epoq and have bluetooth capability so they can be used with both a bluetooth enabled mobile phone and a bluetooth enabled mp3 player.

Anyway, that's tmi which I apologize for. I was in the local Micro Center store today and came across an iPod bluetooth dongle made by a Korean company called wiREVO. (www.wirevo.com). I brought it home, charged it, synced it with the streamer I purchased in order to activate the bluetooth function of the hearing aids and it actually works!

Granted, there's a high price to pay; the aids cost about $3000 each. But if it works with these it just might work with yours.

Ok, looking further at the web site, I don't see the device I bought on there. According to the user manual that came with it, it's called "Bluetooth Stereo Adapter; wiREVO A100 for iPod".

Good luck.

Well, I bought one last week in Miami but I hadn't my ipod with me to test it well.

I am now traveling in south america and noticed that the battery don't last more than a couple of hours, even after several charge/discharge cycles.

My Nokia bluetooth stereo headphones last at least 10 hours before need to be recharged.

Another con is that it can't be charged with the ipod to firewire to a/c adapter I use with my ipod, but only with the ipod dock to USB cable.
