Apple's iPhone includes the latest Bluetooth 2.0+EDR technology but is essentially 'crippled' since only Handsfree and Headset profiles are supported. Right now iPhone does not support A2DP, OBEX or DUN which means you can't have stereo wireless headphones, you can't send/receive files via Bluetooth and you can't use it as a modem. Sign the petition to ask Apple to add these common Bluetooth Profiles to iPhone via a software update!

Reaching a thousand signatures has been a long haul and I am feeling the weight of the silence from the other side. This is proving to be a difficult road but seeing so many people agree on this limitation keeps me focused.

Reaching our first hundred signatures is taking far longer than I hoped it would. I am exhausted by the silence from Cupertino but we need to hit this milestone to prove that people actually care about these missing features.

The hardware is capable so why block it? I paid enough for this thing it should function like a normal phone.

Ridiculous that I cant send a simple photo to my friend with a droid. Apple needs to get with the times.
