I’m listening to an ITConversations talk from the O’Reilly Mac OSX Conference and he’s hitting on something I’m very interested in. He says that the next stage in the evolution of the iPod should be Bluetooth and I couldn’t agree more.
Bluetooth is very useful as a cable replacement. I use it to connect to my cell phone and sync my address book. This very handy, but would definitely doable with a cable instead.
What’s really cool- with a cool app called Salling Clicker, I can script different bluetooth events and use it as a peripheral for my computer. I can have it do certain things when I leave the proximity of my computer (like pause iTunes and log out). I can also set it up to pause iTunes when my cell phone rings. This ranks as a 10 on the Jobs Scale (like the Richter scale, but measures coolness).
Now, what I really want is a bluetooth iPod and a bluetooth car stereo. Imagine the possibilities.
