Apple iPhone, iPod touch and AVRCP
The release of Bluetooth A2DP software (finally!) for the Apple iPhone and iPod touch included a half-hearted attempt at incorporating AVRCP or Audio Video Remote Control Profile. Currently, the only functions that are enabled on the AVRCP profile are “Pause” and “Play.” The Tenqa SP-99 Portable Bluetooth Speaker and HP-109 Wireless Bluetooth Headphones include these functions as well as controls for changing tracks, however, the controls for changing tracks are not currently supported by Apple products. We anticipate a software update by Apple at some point but they can be illusive at times… In the meantime, AVRCP profile works just fine on hundreds of phones. Step up, Apple!
