    So I recently bought a Ipod Touch with Bluetooth build in.

    I try connect to it using the build in BT from my T61. It is able to find my Ipod, but window 7 keep saying it could find the driver for it. What can I do now?

    Yeah I just tried, and it is able to connect, but the driver was not available. I entered the pairing numbers, and it connected. Then Windows tried to find drivers but failed. That is how far I got.

    I tried in Windows 7 on my T43 which has Bluetooth and it did connect and i am also where "chorpeac" is. I thought companies were going to scramble to make drivers for ever device in Windows 7 but it's been pretty lackluster so far especially since it has been released to shelves recently.

    Most companies have drivers.

    Yes but for out of production machines it has been limited sometimes.

    Most likely that is because electronic company wants you to be a frequent consumer, if you want the latest in software, then they expect you to buy the latest in hardware. A case of you scratch my back, and i scratch your back sort of thing. Nothing that strange.
