The guys from http://iphonebluetooth.tk/ started 2 months ago with a project to unlock the iPhone bluetooth. The goal of their project is to extend the bluetooth functionalities on the iPhone and apparently they are on the good way.
Developer MeDevil has been working on an application that detect other bluetooth devices from the iPhone and as you can see from the screenshots they were able to find 2 devices (a sony ericsson phone and an hackintosh).
Some details of what they have achieved so far:
1. We have been able to initialise bluetooth in objective-c, linking to apples private frameworks, through only reverse engineering.
2. We were able to talk in raw Host Controller Interface code, i.e. close to binary communications, using only POSIX functions that are available in any standard C library.
3. To do that we had to initialise the BlueCore6-ROM type integrated circuit found on the iPhone 3g over a UART transport, formulate HCI packets and read the response.
