Did you know that there are roughly twenty-five Bluetooth profiles? iPhone only support Hands-Free Profile (HFP) and Headset Profile (HSP). You’ve heard my bellyache by the lack of support for Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) and Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP). whether supported, these two profiles stream music wirelessly from iPhone to any supported Bluetooth headsets (i.e. Etymotic ety8) or wireless HiFi speakers (i.e. Com One Bluetooth Speaker System). Well I’m back again with another Bluetooth bitch session.

Parrot finally sent their new 7-inch Photo Viewer.  Nearly every singled-out Bluetooth enable phones on the market support Basic Imaging Profile (BIP), File Transfer Profile (FTP), and Object Push Profile (OPP).  Guess what?  iPhone can’t send images to Photo Viewer.  Why?  considering iPhone’s Bluetooth is either extremely dumb, crippled or both.
