iFixit has dissasembled the second generation iPod Touch along with the new Nano, and have revealed that the iPod Touch 2G has a bluetooth chip built in! They haven’t determined yet whether it supports stereo headphones.

“At the top of the picture above the battery is a metal cover. Underneath the cover is a BroadcomBCM4325Â Bluetooth chip. Yes, that’s right, Bluetooth! Apple has said nothing of this publicly.
This particular bluetooth chipset supports BT2.1+EDR. No word yet on whether the one Apple included supports A2DP, which would enable stereo headphones
This chipset also offers FM support, but Apple has displayed zero interest in FM historically, and there are no signs of that trend changing.”
You may go here for instructions from iFixit on how to disassemble your iPod. It does void your warranty though.

This is awesome, but if they say it’s stereo Bluetooth, I’m going to be pissed. I think it’s unfair that this would have it and not the iPhone! :(
If they put A2DP in iPod Touch, Will they put it in iPhone?

It’s for the Nike+ dumbasses :)
It’s news, so we report it.
