Bluetooth headsets For iPod

After a few years in the cell phone world wilderness Bluetooth headsets have moved squarely into the mainstream. Beyond smart phones and high-end handsets you can find the feature in a wide variety of cell phones from all manufactures and carriers. But what is Bluetooth and what can it do for you?

In the past few years, Bluetooth headsets have become must-have accessories for cell phone fanatics. The benefits of these hands-free, wireless devices are obvious, particularly in the wake of state and local laws that require the use of a headset while driving. And just as the number of headsets has exploded, the number of Bluetooth cell phones has increased as well. Integrated Bluetooth is now present in a broad range of cell phones--from high-end smartphones to low-end functional models. Of course, cell phone Bluetooth usage is not limited to just headsets--you can also use Bluetooth to stream music wirelessly, connect to the Web, transfer files, and more.

Before we delve into the different kinds of Bluetooth, it may help to know a little bit about Bluetooth itself. Even though the technology has been around since 1999, many consumers are still a little confused about what it is and how it works. Even its oddball name is somewhat mysterious; the technology was named after a 10th-century Danish king with an affinity for tooth-staining blueberries.
