Other peripherals I would hope. If this is at all related to a push for a storage solution then you can bet your ass you won't see one for some time.

Maybe they are testing and preparing for a christmas release of a hard drive.

Wouldn´t it be possible to connect a harddrive through bluetooth?

 

It's possible they could just be expanding on a team already late into the process, as you suggested.

As for the possibility of connecting a hard drive through Bluetooth: sure it's possible, but hardly practical. The current Bluetooth standard has a peak 3 Mbit/s data rate compared to USB 2.0's 480 Mbit/s, a 16x DVD's 168.75 Mbit/s or an internal hard drive's >1 Gbit/s data rate. They just don't compare; we're talking orders of maginitude difference in data rate.
