OK, I'm not a dev, I have absolutely no OS X skills what so ever, I do have an iPhone 3G that I am willing to use to test, obviously this will have no bootloader hacks so it's impossible to brick the phone, so I'm willing to do any testing you need. I can't donate until I see a beta and even then not much. One thing I can offer for you is advice on how to go about this. For one, you CAN use an OS X stack, but it has to be open source, since the iPhone doesnt contain all of the OS X libraries. So my advice, find an open source stack, then use that code and write an interface for it, you could even sell it through app store if you contain it all in one program, just re-write the code to run on the iPhone, package any additional libraries not on the iPhone with it, and then it will run. All in one self contained app is fine for file transfers, but things like music will have to have firmware support so App Store is out if you need that.

So the basic steps:
1. Find an OS X open source bluetooth stack.
2. Convert the code to iPhone (not much work here really if done right)
3. MAKE SURE you package any additional libraries not in 2.0 with it.

And yes, I do know it isnt that simple, that is just a VERY rough guideline you may like to follow.

I'm willing to help out the project. Seems like we'll need to run a background service to make this work correctly. I still need to rebuild my toolchain and update the header files to 2.0 on cygwin

The software apple use for the Bluetooth is called BLUEmagic software.

bluemagic software protocol stack to be precise. Though when googled gives info regarding actual software protocol and not the iPhone not that I could find anything.

listen; we could just make an app that will show and videos; songs and photos and then users need to open that app to send stuff

Starting point? Try looking at some osx ported apps first like that one that allows you to run osx widgets. It says install the software the add some files from your mac to the iphone. I dont know the exact instructions but look at it. Also try breakingdown the iphones bluetooth stack aswell.

[cscho0415]

we have to first find the bluetooth stack... does any one know the extension name of a blue tooth stack

[Geniusdog254]

A bluetooth stack is typically a OS driver, so in OS X its probably a KEXT and in windows a DLL referenced by the kernel or a self-contained program.
