Hehe
I was thinking that today, making everything wireless
No nothing
But it would be a worldwide bitch with loads of people have bluetooth on at once

I'm not so sure.. bluetooth is pretty short range, so it shouldn't conflict too much, it would be cool to have like 3 or 4 of your friends connect to the same walkman via bluetooth.
Oh the posssibilities.... |

Bluetooth 2.0 seems to have provisions for this.
Although I still think it's gonna sound like crap... considering that streaming internet audio sounds like crap... I mean, compared to iTunes... so why even bother?
You have to remember that that's basically what's gonna happen... your MP3s on your phone or music player are gonna be digitally streamed to your BT headset... every single source of radio interference will cause gaps in your music stream... unless they create a large music buffer... which will then increase the cost of the headset... which will also increase power drain... which will require a larger headset battery... which will increase the weight of the headset... which will cause consumers to gripe about the product... which will then not sell very well... which will cease the future development of said product! Hehehehehe
No matter how good wireless transmission of streaming audio gets... it will NEVER measure up to locally stored media. Even satellite radio has annoying glitches. So why not just use the BT headset with a built-in music player?
Or if ever, I don't think the wireless music headset should run off BT... it's overkill, and causes too much power drain. Kinda like the BT keyboard... it is, IMO, the dumbest BT accessory ever made. Why? Cuz it has LESS practical applications than a cheaper wireless keyboard... and for what? The novelty of saying that it's BT? That's DUMB.
If all you want is a music player that has no wires... why not check out Oakley's MP3 player?
