I don't have the nano but I do have the latest IPod touch and it's absolutely the bomb! I use it every day and even haven't used my radio since switching over. I combined it with a Sprint Overdrive and it makes a great mobile internet platform. On Oct 22, 2010, at 6:22 PM, rayna424 wrote: >

I think you're limited with Apple products. I don't believe the bluetooth device supports a serial profile. I like the idea of this device but I can't see spending money for something that's already out of date, doesn't have a lot of positive reviews and is excessively priced for what you get

I think the easier test here is to attach your computer via wire instead of wireless and test the throughput. See if it feels faster. Also, instead of fighting with download tests download a big file and see how it goes. Something like ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.18.2.
