IPhone has Bluetooth why not IPOD Touch?

Because the people who designed it really weren't thinking.

They just took an iPhone added a MINIMAL amount of memory, removed the calling capability and a few other things and repackaged it as an itouch for people who don't use AT&T.

The only reason the iPhone has bluetooth is so it can use bluetooth headsets. The iPhone does not use bluetooth for data syncing or any other functions, just for headsets. Hence, it would be kinda pointless to add it to the iPod touch. Not to mention that transfer speeds would be around 12Mbps when using the latest version of bluetooth (2.0+). It would take around 10 minutes to fill 16GB of data. This is fine for PDAs as you normally sync minimal amounts of data but not for a media device.

Bluetooth Speakers and headphones work fine with iphone. To bad for Ipod touch. The 16gig doesn't bother me. Hope it supports remote speakers through the wifi.

Do you know what you are talking about?

iPhone only has monophonic headset (talk phone) bluetooth capability.
