I was excited about it too at first. It makes pefect sense and for Apple to leave it out is kind of odd. Possibly, the OS X kernel they're using could be a derivative of 10.4 and not support A2DP.
But there's hope, that third update says that there is a Bluetooth chip in there (Really, the BT and WiFi are probably one chip) and I suppose Apple could at a later date file an addendum with the FCC before releasing an update OR it could be hacked and turned on using files from the iPhone.
I don't hold out hope for Apple to activate it later - it seems awfully odd that they wouldn't include it in a FCC filing before release if they even had the intention to make it work.
I'll buy one though if I can stream live tv from my MCE machine over the Wifi and view it full-screen on the iPodT. It would definitely fill a niche that PPC makers have been ignoring for a couple of years now (In other words, give me back my PPC-6600 with EVDO and WM6 and keep the 3.5" screen!!!).
