For the iPhone users in the audience who are still a little mad that Apple still hasn’t included stereo Bluetooth (also known as A2DP), you are now able to use your Bluetooth headphones with your iPhone and iPod touch, but there’s a catch (as always). You must spend $62 to get a Bluetooth adapter who’s sole purpose is to provide A2DP. Gotta love it.

The Infinixx adapter uses the standard dock connector that you can find on recent iPods, so you can also use the adapter on your iPod Touch, iPod nano, iPod Classic, iPod Video, iPod Color, and iPod Mini. While it is a Bluetooth adapter, you can’t pair your non-stereo headset with it on your iPhone to have calls through that. Their solution? Pair your headset with the iPhone and your headphones with the adapter. Now that already mediocre battery on your iPhone 3G has been dropped to five minutes. Ok, maybe not quite as drastic, but it’s definitely a significant loss.

At $62, I’d rather wait for official (if ever) A2DP support from Apple, but a pair of wired headphones do the trick just nicely.
