Looks like the P3's bluetooth is promising.

Sure it did. Although as far as I can tell the P2 has all the same features. They won because no other player maker has been as forward thinking as Samsung.

So true. But I love BlueTooth and why they wouldn't put it on every player, we have no idea.

Bluetooth requires the additional investment of bluetooth headphones or other receivers. It adds cost to the player, and so for those who don't need or want to use wireless headphones they make models without bluetooth. Apple owns 70%ish of the world market, and none of their players have bluetooth stereo. Hard to make a good case for it knowing that fact.

As much as I hate apple, they will (does, but needs new firmware) have stereo bluetooth, according to Engadget. So maybe more bluetooth capable stuff on the way? One can hope!
