I've only been following iPhone news sort of tangentially over the past...well, ever, but what's this about not being able to use a regular old bluetooth headset? Or am I misunderstanding the point of this one being iPhone-compatible?
If I'm reading this right, it's just another reason for me not to get one. Proprietary headsets...ugh!
For some inexplicable reason, iPhone does not support the stereo bluetooth profile (A2DP), so while you can use any non-Apple bluetooth headset to make and receive calls, forget about using cordless headphones. Oh, and no voice dialing either.
Okay, so I misunderstood, then. I mean, what you said is kind of bad enough, but I thought from the article that it didn't support standard *monaural* bluetooth headsets. Good to know that it's not that bad. =)
