Retailer says Bluetooth iPod is near

Rumors are flying once again that Apple will debut a Bluetooth iPod, and one U.K. retailer says the Cupertino-based company has been putting the finishing touches on just such a device. Stuff Magazine suspects that the iPod maker is set to unveil a host of accessories for its line of digital media players, with Bluetooth-enabled headphones being a primary candidate. A Bluetooth-enabled iPod would allow users to broadcast music through vehicle speakers without the need for plug-ins or FM transmitters, and may enable owners of the device to transfer tracks wirelessly between iPods. Sony Ericsson recently launched its W950i Walkman phone with the optional HBH-DS970s, a flash-based phone offering 4GB of storage and Bluetooth connectivity, which some industry watchers say is set to offer the iPod stiff competition. Apple will need to roll out a wireless-capable iPod to stay on top of mobile phone competitors, according to the report.
