 Works with iPhone 3G July 29, 2008

I can confirm this DOES work with iPhone 3G. You'll get the "This product not designed to work with iPhone..." message but it will work fine. The iPhone speakers will not play while you listen to music. No comment on battery life as I've only had it for a day. The sound quality is excellent with Motorola S9 bluetooth headphones.
There are only two reasons I can think of that Apple has not enable A2DP in their supposedly "multimedia" devices:
1. They are incompetent. (Hard to believe given the wonderful interface they have created, as well as all the other programs. Then again, they have yet to enable cut & paste.)
2. They are waiting to release a proprietary radio protocol to replace Bluetooth, so they can sell you their own radio stereo headsets and devices. This would would be consistent with Apple's extreme greed and need for absolute control over all their hardware and software, even after you, the consumer, have bought and own their product.
Either way, they need to enable A2DP in one form or another SOON. Almost every phone and mp3 player sold today has support for this excellent protocol. I have a $50 phone that can do it, for chrissakes.
Apple's "no authorized third party software" stance is like Ford or GM selling you a car, then preventing you, the owner, from making any modifications to the interior or engine! Okay I need to calm down. Sorry for the rant, but I have a kind of love/hate relationship with Apple.
Buy this product. Enjoy the stereo bluetooth. Try to ignore how it prevents your device from fitting into it's case or holster. Try to ignore the ridicule you will get from anyone who owns a non-Apple mp3 player or Windows Mobile device. Try not to be upset at Apple for not enabling this feature on hardware that can clearly support it.

Not much to add to the excellent reviews before mine: Straightforward pairing with my Sony DR-BT50. No drop in sound even when I step out to the porch, almost 20 feet away from my iPod! Yes, a bit pricey, but well worthed.

This Bluetooth adapter does work with the iPhone in spite of the message you get when you plug it in. The message states that it doesn't and asks you if you want to switch to airplane mode. Just answer no and continue. The key to getting it to work is to start whichever application you are using to play before you plug in the adapter. My only problem is that occasionally if I'm moving with the iPhone on my belt, the sound will "cut out" for a second.

This paired easily with my Moto S9 BT headphones, sounds great, and stays snugly on myiPod (unlike the Jabra adaptor I tried.)
The signal has no problem carrying from my messanger bag, and doesn't drop out much at all, except when there's alot of wireless chatter about.
The device is powered by the iPod, so no seperate power suppy.
It's simple, elegent, SMALL and just works!
Incredible! July 10, 2008

This is an incredible device! I use it with an Oticon Epoq Streamer and my iPod Nano - it provides so much freedom! I can walk about 20 feet away from my iPod and still hear very clearly. I ordered this device because it draws power directly from the iPod and I don't need another device to charge. The iPod does hold a charge for less time with the device attached but it is well worth it. This device works exactly as advertised - highly recommended if you want Bluetooth connectivity on an iPod.
