We’ve yet to see an iPod with integrated Bluetooth, leaving plenty of room for the many peripheral makers in the iPod add-on market. The latest to enter this field is Jabra, maker of many a fine Bluetooth device, from cellphone headsets to USB adapters and headphones.
Making their first foray into the iPod peripheral market, Jabra has announced the A125s, an adapter that plugs into the dock connector on compatible iPods and allows the usage of Bluetooth wireless headphones. It offers 10 hours of rechargeable battery life, or 250 hours of standby, for $75, and ought to drop in August.
I’m soon going to be in the market for a new pair of headphones (the current pair are getting kind of ratty), and while I’d like to go wireless, most of the prices are still kind of steep. It’d be nice to see Apple build in Bluetooth, so you don’t have to fiddle with a clunky adapter.

Apple probably doesn't like people using other headphones, as it defeats the advertising part of the (in)famous white pair that come stock with your sleek new iPod.
Perhaps, with a bluetooth-integrated iPod release, Apple will start selling bluetooth white earbuds?
