Why is Apple against AD2P for Iphone?

It would need to be bulletproof and equal in fidelity to wired audio for Apple to release it on the iPhone.

There are some third party dongles and adapters available if you REALLY want A2DP.

So, the A2DP audio is WORSE than a normal plugged in headphone?

Well, obviously anything wireless is going to carry a slightly worse quality than wired. -Provided that the headphones themselves are of same quality...

not really i have the motorola HT820 and a BT adapter on my ipod mini and sounded way better than my technic rp-dj1200 minus that my technic headphones gave me the bass i wanted but the quality on my motorola was sharp. ive also rocked my motorola HT820 on my co-workers nokia n95 and he was in love with the sound threw BT than his wired headphones it came with....

There are a few things missing that my Treo and Motorola have that are lacking on the iPhone.
Hawk really had a list of things to say that the iPhone was missing.
I do hope that the lack of Bluetooth available extras are a short time away (either from the 3rd party apps or Apple firmware upgrade in the future).
The iPhone deserves MORE than it has.
I just wanna send photos to and from my computer or other phone. Why can't I do that with my iPhone??

Okay this is Steve's policy? "SOME people wont want it, so NO ONE gets it." No wonder there isn't any mms. Shoot! If that's Apple's philosophy I'm surprised we have a camera at all! It most certainly doesn't meet any kind of "quality standards."

Yeah, and they don't allow you to dock/charge your iPhone while you listen to your music wirelessly. We need native A2DP support.
