Mac OS X 10.5 has A2DP - confirmed
It’s Friday evening and a sudden thought occurred to me. Has anyone blogged about OS X 10.5’s support for A2DP? Google to the rescue…
It’s confirmed if you believe a post by claudej in the Apple Discussions forum a few hours after Leopard’s release. Also found a reference at iPhoneApps (with unlinked credit to Engadget). Snippet:
Just installed Leopard & the 1st thing I checked is…
Bluetooth profiles supported by Apple Bluetooth software
Apple’s Bluetooth software supports the following profiles on client devices:Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP): Controls stereo audio headphones.
Audio Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP): Controls the buttons on headphones and other devices.
My copy of OS X 10.5 won’t arrive until the ACN mails it out (next week I hope) and the rest of you get a chance to kick the tires so I don’t have to. In any event, I’m charging my Bluetooth stereo headsets as I write this. Rock out, recharge, and realize that wired headphones don’t need a power outlet.
I’m guessing an iPhone update is just around the corner to coincide with Leopard’s support for A2DP.
