Palm released an update for the Verizon Treo 700w/wx supporting advanced audio support (A2DP). I would like to think that there's hope for the iPhone yet.

This sums it up best:

If anyone is wondering why having A2DP is such a big deal, and someone on the forum asked that question, here is hannip's answer:

No cords gives you more options. You can have your treo in your pocket and listen to music while walking, jogging, whatever. Also it's nice to be able to play your treo through an a2dp enabled car stereo. Music, Movies, Slingplayer audio all wirelessly over your car stereo.

So Apple, if you’re reading this, please include A2DP support on the iPhone in the next firmware update.

I agree with you regarding the A2DP application.

I have a nokia 5700 music xpress which has A2DP caperbilities. I have a set of plantronic wireless headphone which compliment the phone well.

So i would like to see Apple provide up with this not so difficult application.

As i wait for my iphone, i hope this minor oversight will be rectified by the time the phopne reaches Hong Kong.
