I\'m interested in connecting to iOS-based devices over Bluetooth. I can see that the \"Local Network\" service is exposed, but I cannot find any extra information about it.
According to this interesting site :
http://code.google.com/p/btstack/wiki/iPhoneBluetooth Apple are using a special chip besides their Bluetooth RF chip which denies any connection for a device without that chip - this means its a lock on the hardware level.
