At home I have my doubts about how useful it is, since you're still bound to wires to charge the batteries. I must agree it could be very handy to connect your music to all kinds of speakers and stereos.But I still disagree that an MP3 player without bluetooth is worthless, since the only advantage I can think of is not having to remember to bring your wires with you everywhere. Then again, that's not even a problem for me, since my MP3-player has a USB port.

There is absolutely no reason Bluetooth shouldn't be in all portable MP3 players considering how cheap the technology is. My laptop has Bluetooth. My Garmin StreetPilot has Bluetooth. My cell phone has Bluetooth (that I pair with the StreetPilot). Why can't I have a low-cost MP3 player with Bluetooth? Is it really *that* hard to put in there? I am serious.

Just because you need to connect it to your computer for several minutes to get your music on the device makes it worthless? Hell, even if it has wi-fi, you'll still need to charge the battery, so any portable electronic device which doesn't have a replacable battery is worthless since you're still chained to wires to bring electricity in the device? “A portable electronic device today that doesn’t have some kind of wireless option, be it Bluetooth or otherwise, is more or less worthless because you’re still chained to wires in order to bring digital content on the device.”
