Bluetooth mp3 player with file transfer?

Don’t expect the full Bluetooth deal on your mp3 player.

A friend of mine showed me his new ultra thin 4 gig T10 Samsung mp3 player which he had purchased recently. He mentioned that he was convinced to buy it because it had Bluetooth enabled technology.
After further examination it became evident that the Bluetooth feature was limited to being only able to use wireless headphones but not able to send and receive files via Bluetooth.
For those who had visions of transferring songs between various users and devices, I am
sorry to say, this won’t be happening any time soon.

All the big players have seen what Apple has done to maximize the potential earnings of mp3 player products. Apple with their ipod range has tapped a revenue source through users downloading of songs and videos.
Other manufacturers are keen to replicate the success of itunes.
This being the case, they are only shipping new ranges with Bluetooth stereo wireless functions and not file transfer support..
There is a second consideration. The reality of legal action being spun across the table would be a certainty, because there is too much invested in pay for download business for any such quantum development to go unnoticed.
