stereo bluetooth

iPhone 3.0 firmware release and stereo bluetooth - it does support AVRCP - just not all of it

It turns out that the iPhone does support AVRCP - that's giving us the play/pause functionality.

But - in this support article:

it says:

iPhone and iPod touch (2nd generation) support pause, play, and stop for AVRCP

So - apple have implemented AVRCP - but just not all of it.

From the support article there is no indication if this is going to get updated - so I guess we'll just have to hope.

Update on AVRCP

Wildly irritating.

Apple have added A2DP (stereo music) over bluetooth.

Time to grab that bluetooth adapter I stopped using after getting an iPhone from work.

Hang on - the scan/skip buttons (fast forward/rewind/change track) don't work.

I'm astounded that Apple have included support for A2DP without AVRCP (AVRCP is the profile for these skip/scan buttons).
