iFixit has disassembled the 4G iPod nano and the 2G iPod touch and unexpectedly found Bluetooth in the iPod touch.

At the top of the picture above the battery is a metal cover. Underneath the cover is a Broadcom BCM4325 Bluetooth chip. Yes, that's right, Bluetooth! Apple has said nothing of this publicly.

This particular bluetooth chipset supports BT2.1+EDR. No word yet on whether the one Apple included supports A2DP, which would enable stereo headphones.
