Apple iPhone does A2DP Bluetooth music streaming - kind of

It’d be nice if Apple had enabled A2DP Bluetooth on our iPhones with that recently released update. We’d love to rock out to our tunes without the hassle of wires. We guess that just means iPhone owners will have to take matter into their own hands.
Wipe the dust off those fancy Bluetooth headphones of yours and grab and Icombi Bluetooth adapter for that iPhone. Apparently, the Icombi Bluetooth adapter will endow your iPhone with the sorely missing A2DP functionality that Apple forgot to include. Hit the vid below to see how the iPhone handles incoming calls and whatnot while listening to your tunes.

Love this Youtube video. Will this work with an ordinary bluetooth headset?
Thanks!

You can enable Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) and Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP) profiles via hardware solutions such as iBlueT from 8bananas.com. Basically it is a “Made for iPod” dongle and stereo headset bundle. You connect the dongle to the iPhone via the dock connector and then pair the stereo headset to your iPhone / dongle. I can confirm it does NOT have the annoying speaker playing at the same time problem that everyone has experienced with the workarounds of enabling A2DP via tricks / hacks etc… It only cost $99USD vs the Apple Bluetooth headset at $129 USD…

Only $99, LOL. It’s a disgrace that this feature isn’t ready out of the box. I love apple’s stylish products, but I HATE Apple as a company, utter BS.
