yahoo! Bluetooth! @ Sep 24th 2007 2:17AM

i don't understand why its so hard to find if this thing has bluetooth. Engadget, don't you think that what with the increased traffic after a confirmation or denial of Bluetooth, it would be cost effective to buy one and rip it apart yourselves? you could surely make about five separate posts and update your review, and each would surely get about a couple million views (and 150 inane, bickering posts)

Engadget is a gadget reporting site, not a site devoted to tearing down and reading chips.

If iFixit couldn't figure it out, then the only people who probably CAN are a group of electrical engineers who would have to desolder (SMT, natch!) the chips from the board and hook 'em up to a chip reader-type device.

Not for the faint of heart.

I'm pretty sure that Apple just got rid of BT on this one. It's clear that the two iPods are different boards, and use different chips. Why would they want you to have BT so you could use it as a VoIP phone? They're not that stupid.

BT would enable it to turn into a GPS device.
