Why can't I use my iPod touch bluetooth to answer my cell phone?

This has to be a stupid decision from Apple. If there is a bluetooth chip in my iPod, why can't I use my iPod to answer my cell phone when it rings? I can't imagine the bluetooth chip in iPod does not have this capability if Samsung YP-P2 player does.

This is not a feature of the ipod touch.

Bluetooth is for stereo headsets/speakers and some peer-to-peer apps ONLY.

Why does any product not have a particular feature?

That's my point exactly, why isn't it a feature of the iPod Touch? If I have the iPod headset on my ears which has a buildin mic connected to my bluetooth capable iPod Touch, why do I have to manually pause my music, take the headset (at least one side) our of my ear to answer my phone? Wouldn't it just make sense to implement this feature.

" why isn't it a feature of the iPod Touch?"

Because Apple chose not to make this a feature of the ipod touch.

Unless Apple announces, there is no reason to know why they do anything.

Does "why" really matter? It is NOT a feature of the ipod touch. It doesn't have a bottle opener either. It could, but it doesn't.
