To make things even more appealing, the
Belkin TuneStage 2 for iPod uses Bluetooth technology that can support a
distance of up to 25 metres and even through walls. (Belkin suggested 30
feet) Although it should
be stated that Bluetooth is generally limited to 10 metres, however due
to the latest Bluetooth technology of the device, it does offer
increased distances.
