iPhone Getting Blue In The Tooth, At A Cost
A2DP Bluetooth. Not often a feature high on people’s lists of must-have functionality, but when it is taken away, it is sorely missed. The freedom of wireless headphones is a beautiful experience, and one which iPhone owners have had to do without…until now.
It seems that every iPhone accessory manufacturer was waiting for this 3G launch to pounce with all manner of wares, but this device connects to any member of the iFamily, allowing use of Bluetooth stereo headsets on the go. Take this from harsh personal experience, any opportunity to avoid dropping an iPhone on a busy train concourse should be grabbed with both hands.
Fair enough, but a mobile telephone with Bluetooth functionality already shouldn’t be dabbling in add-ons to perform tasks which should come easily. With unpleasant side effects like the plastic back and shortened life span for the iPhone 3Gs new aerials, what harm could one more do? Having said that, there is no moving files with Bluetooth, no sending contacts/business cards, no Bluetooth headset supported aside from Apple’s own brand…what did we expect?
Either way, this Infinxx adaptor costs around £40, and attempts to be as inoffensive as possible. Until the inevitable app sells basic functions back to us at a premium. Yup, it’s coming.
