iPhone 3.0 will support Stereo Bluetooth. Overall, very cool, but caveat emptor.

Stereo Bluetooth support on iPhone is coming with iPhone OS 3.0.  Welcome news for many, but beware of the reduced audio quality you will get from many existing 3rd party A2DP devices.  Generic A2DP only support SBC compression format for wireless transmission, and therefore you will get nasty transcoding (or tandem) artifacts resulting in muddy, muffled sound quality.

I suspect that Apple has some slick wireless headphones up their sleeve, and the Bluetooth module makers are offering codec upgrades to natively support Mp3/AAC decoding for A2DP receivers.  If this is the case, then most content sold on iTunes or Amazon may not need to be transcoded presuming it matches a bit rate that BT A2DP can handle.

Overall, a big day for wireless headphone lovers...
