Hi Eric,
This API will be available in Tiger. If you have access to a developer seed
of Tiger, you can start using it now. It is available in the form of an
IOBluetoothDeviceInquiry object. The relevant file should be here:
/System/Library/Frameworks/IOBluetooth.framework/Headers/objc/
IOBluetoothDeviceInquiry.h
Hopefully it will meet your needs.

Thanks in advance for any pointers.
