Hi Esther, Yeah it's weird I've just run the ipad updates and will try again but can't figure it. The iphone works fine with the blueant v1 and that's ios 4.01. so will have to do some more trying.
Thanks for the thoughts I might have to look at the q1 as an alternate.

A Jawbone Icon without the Firmware upgrade to support A2DP wasn't seen by the iPad, so maybe the iPad requires A2DP for its Bluetooth devices? I know that the iPad does support the A2DP stereo Bluetooth profile, but not the HandsFree Bluetooth profile used by the iPhone for dealing with calls. Did you get the iPad Camera Connection Kit? You might be able to use a USB headset with the USB to dock connector, although I haven't tried this. I am able to record directly to apps by connecting an iMic to the USB to dock connector component of the Camera Connection Kit.
