Why is it that no one has made Bluetooth headphones available for Macs yet? One can buy Bluetooth headsets to use with cellphones but what I really want is to be able to walk about and listen to my iTunes on a wireless headset. I was reminded of this the other day when at Starbucks I tried to stand up while wearing my headphones--bad idea.
It would seem a natural idea and the technology to do this already exists. One could even merge it with the cellphone headset technology so that the music would cut out when you got a call. Indeed, quite a few new cell phones come with memory cards that allow them to work as MP3 players.
I would think about adding the memory card to the actual headphones so that you could download 30-60 minutes of music to the headphones from your laptop and go walkabout if desired. Because of the low speed of Bluetooth, you would just dock the chip into your laptop to transfer new music.
That would be worth $100 to me, maybe $150 if the design was truly excellent. (Doesn't that seem obvious--that good design should enhance value?)

One might be able to link it to the Bluetooth enabled Mac, to chat through iChat AV, your Cellphone, I dont know if iPod offers Bluetooth yet but it seems to come with a device that stors and plays music... And it seems to work with cellphones...
