        But it should seem pretty self evident.

        Bluejacking is the practice of finding bluetooth enabled devices that are not your own and sending data to them to cause them to do something.

        Example given on the site is to create a contact on a Bluetooth enabled cell phone with some text as the name of the contact as 'Hello, you've been bluejacked'. Then do a discovery for other bluetooth devices, find another bluetooth cell phone, and send that contact to it. Guy's phone beeps, it says "hello you've been bluejacked" to him, and he's all confused by that.

        It's basically just pranking somebody. In this case, the MP3 player can act as a wireless bluetooth headset. If you did a discovery on your bluetooth phone near somebody with one, you'd likely find it. Assuming they haven't changed the pin (assuming it is changeable), you'd be able to link your phone to their headset and possibly simulate a ring to them. They'd answer, get nothing, and wonder wtf was going on...
    • Wouldn't that be "mujacking"?

So this means you would be the one bluejacking other peoples calls etc. This is used as a receiver and does not transmit over bluetooth, or at least it doesn't seem to be. It is used as a headset/hand free device for BT enabled phones.

    The one thing I'd really love with my iPod would be a bluetooth remote AND bluetooth headphones. The iPod could stay in whatever inside pocket I put it in, and I wouldn't have to worry about headphone cords or remote cords.
    • no( without packing ).

      but.. with things like http://www.beecon.de/produkte/BlueMP3/ [beecon.de], it's possible to have good mp3 quality(as the receiver decodes mp3).. There's a chap from irc that I know that's written some software to play mp3's from series60 mobile phones with that thing(basically, the phone just sends the mp3 to the bluemp3 which does the decoding).

      well.. the point of this comment: with little imagination the vendors should be able to overcome the problems.
    • That is an awesome idea, I would definitely buy one of those in a second. Come on Apple lets get to it...
      • The problem being that Bluetooth has nowhere the required bandwidth. Even power-hungry 802.11b is barely able to stream uncompressed CD-quality audio (and compression would kill battery life and make the headset bulky).

        If this was possible with current tech, Apple would have jumped on it a long time ago.

    • Ten technologies, the people who madet the ir remote and receiver for the ipod, said they would be releasing a LCD bluetooth remote and headphones in January. Their website address is http://www.tentechnology.com/

      I believe the max bandwidth on bluetooth is 768kbps, or 1 mbps (not sure which).

      So if the bluetooth device on your ears was doing the actual decoding, then sure. Plenty of bandwidth. If the iPod was doing the decoding, then you'd get some pretty fierce quality loss. Not big enough of a pipe to send CD quality stereo audio in real time.

      However, it's entirely possible to build a bluetooth set of headphones with an MP3/AAC/whatever decoder in it, then use the docking port on the iPod to grab the undecoded songs, and send them via bluetooth. More than a bit pointless, but possible.

In one you have people who want gigs of space for more songs then they can ever realy listen to. In the other you have people who want a small device that plays just enough songs and is realy durable. Two markets, two types of products.

    Daisy Multimedia sent us their highly anticipated DIVA GEM Bluetooth enabled MP3 Player. We reported about this interesting Gadget last November. Now I have the chance to try it first hand.

    The Bluetooth function enables users to use the DIVA GEM as a wireless Head-set or Hands-free device for mobile phones. So users can listen to music and can pick-up incoming calls with the MP3 Player. Pretty neat concept. Lets see if it works.

    large photo
    Overview
    This is now the 6th MP3 Player we review this year. The Jens of Sweden and the Vandisori Players stand out so far with their quality and breath of features. Daisy Multimedia is the first to offer Bluetooth in an MP3 Player. I stumbled across another one on the Computex Award Page from First International Computer Inc.

    The Diva Gem is available in three colors (Fanatic, Stardust and Glamour). I received the red (glamour) one with 128MB storage. The Player has a good small size measuring 86x32x20mm. It weighs 25g without battery. The surface has a metallic feel to it, giving the Diva a high quality appearance. It is bundled with the usual accessories a head-set (necklace style), power-adapter, USB Cable, Audio Cable and a CD. The Audio cable is quite useful. It has on the same end the male 3.5mm plug and the 2 RCA audio inputs.
    The Diva Gem comes with a 450mAh Li-Ion battery that is supposed to power the player for 20 hours. When connected to the Computer via USB the MP3 Player is charging. So the power adaptor is not really necessary if you have a Computer available.

    Diva Gem accessories: Audio Recording Cable, USB Cable, Player, Necklace Head-set, Power Adapter.

    Besides the Bluetooth functionality, which I will explore further down, the Diva has another not yet so common SD/MMC Card slot to extend the storage of the player. The card slot is in the battery compartment. In regards to the more or less standard features the Diva Gem provides MP3 and AAC ( Apple's favorite) playback, a 20 station FM Tuner, a very sensitive Microphone for voice recording and mobile phone head-set operation and a backlit 4 line LCD display.

    In the battery compartment is the slot for the SD/MMC storage card to extend the storage of the Diva Gem.

    Usage
    Right away the Diva Gem is very intuitive to use for me. The Player switches on by clicking the Play button on the side (no waiting). To lock the buttons the Diva has a button that toggles the lock. A small key icon on the screen indicates if the player is locked or not. Many other players have a slider button to lock the buttons.

    The display is very clear and bright. The Menu tree is very easy to navigate with the joystick button on the front. Holding the joystick button for 1-2sec takes me to the main menu. This menu has four icons: Audio Player, FM Radio, Voice Recorder and Settings. In each of this main modes a submenu with further options is available.
    I uploaded some MP3s and the sound is excellent. The 5 built-in Equalizer modes are noticeable changing the sound. The volume control is very fine with 55 steps. It still sounds great on the maximum volume. So definitely the Diva Gem is a solid MP3 Player like the Jens of Sweden or Vandisori. Also the FM Tuner is working very well. With the automatic preset the Player finds me 20 stations right away. The sound of the radio is very good. I am actually inclined to say that the Diva Gem has the best FM Radio sound and reception quality from all the MP3 Players I tested this year.

    The Diva Gem has 6 buttons and a joystick.

    Using Diva Gem as a Bluetooth Head-set
    Now the Bluetooth functionality makes the Diva Gem unique, so I was very excited to try this out. I tested it with the Sony Ericsson T610 (provided by MaterialSpieler), one of the view Bluetooth phones available on the US market.

    This [i4u.com] seems to be a nice and multi-featured unit. The expansion slot is something that I have been waiting on for a little while now and the fact that AAC is supported is nice but too bad no OGG though. Seeing that the USB Driver for "Linux 2.4.19" was included makes this my personal top choice now as to MP3 Players.

    Though the Diva Gem use of bluetooth is interesting, I'm intrigued by another possible use of wireless: transfer of music files at the player level.

    Do there exist portable music players that allow either transfer or broadcast of music files to other devices within a certain radius, through Bluetooth, WiFi, or some other means?

    I can recall an earlier Slashdot story which talked about iPod users swapping headphones with eachother. The propensity for people to do this could be enabled by adding a swap or broadcast feature to players themselves.

    Needless to say, this feature is begging for RIAA harassment.

They (should) care that I can bring my 40GB MP3 player over to my friend's house, where I can offload 500+ hours worth of music in 15 minutes. At that point, music becomes a commodity and not something that is worth $15/60min (or $1/4min if you're using online services and buying by the track).

      They should care that HDD space is approaching $.50/GB and storage costs for their music (uncompressed, assuming 6

      • I see what you mean, and you're right: mp3 players that don't contain "outrageous" amounts of music are probably not on the RIAA's radar.

        What I had in mind when I posted originally was an 40gb iPod with an 802.11 or Ethernet adapter that allowed comparitively high-speed transfer of files without a computer from device to device. I personally would find such a device enormously useful. I'm also surprised that aside from laptops and PDAs, there are no devices on the market that have this feature.
