Found this story over at iPodlounge: Wireless headset adapter for iPod coming next year. Bluetooth would be way too slow for syncing the iPod to your computer, but a wireless headset is a great idea. Same benefits of a wireless headset for your cellphone, plus it would help out in my new car where the aux audio jack for the stereo is way over on the passenger side, and there's nowhere to set the iPod on the driver side (it's a weird dash), so leaning over to skip a track is dangerous. Except, now that I think about it, even with Bluetooth to send the audio over to the passenger side, I still have to find somewhere to set the iPod where I can control it safely--the only advantage would be getting rid of a long cord that goes across the car. I think using the navipod remote might be a way to go, but then there's the issue of where to set the remote and will the little stand for the iPod fit on the dash shelf?
Also: iPodlounge posts links to stories at bad websites (like the link to this story, with innummerable pop-ups and a generally shady feeling to the writing), and the quality of the comments is seriously lacking. You know how it gets annoying reading Slashdot comments after a while? This is worse.
