I need to develop an iPhone/iPod Touch application that creates a server to send

  • 0

I need to develop an iPhone/iPod Touch application that creates a server to send some data stream (characters or bytes) to a Windows C++ application via Bluetooth. I’m thinking of creating a TCP connection, but don’t know where to start.

What iPhone API should I use do to something like this? Does anyone knows some code examples that i can use to do this?

And in Windows, what should I use to support this kind of communication?

Thanks

    Yes. From what it looks like you can use the PAN bluetooth profile (the same profile used for tethering) with everything except the original iPhone.

    Here’s an article doing bluetooth over iPhone/iPad using GameKit. The article notes that you would need at least 2 iPhone/iPad devices running iPhone OS 3.0, but I wouldn’t take that as an impossibility to talk to any other bluetooth capable device.

    Update
    This forum indicates that the iPhone is only capable of headset pairing. It could be that the iPhone is “picky” about what you can pair it with.

    “The iPhone only recognizes the “headset” profile. Another well thought out idea from Apple. No A2DP profiles, no OBEX.”

    As jamone as indicated iPhone 3.0 supports A2DP. How nice is that?

    Here’s a table listing of iPhone/iPad bluetooth supported profiles
