However, starting with the release of the first SDK and then the Dev access to the 30-PIN & Bluetooth [1] which was made available at the release of the iPhone SDK 3.0 - July 2009, ANY Developer has the independent capability of building in support to their application for almost any hardware attachment built to the MFI (Made for iPhone/iPad/iPod) specifications.
