We last looked at the furious circulation of wireless iPod rumors a few months back — but today, Stuff Magazine fanned those flames anew with word of a Bluetooth iPod soon to arrive on store shelves.
"Apple had a strangely quiet 30th birthday over the weekend, but it hasn't been staying in and watching Pixar films," writes reporter Mark Wilson. "According to a UK retailer we've been speaking to, it's been adding the finishing touches to a Bluetooth iPod."
