Hopefully this isn't too off-topic...
I'm interested in making my MYNetwork library support Bluetooth. So
I'd like to know what the right OS X APIs are for using Bluetooth for
service discovery (like Bonjour) and peer-to-peer messaging. It would
be ideal if there were an API for reliable delivery of variable-length
messages, but failing that, if there's a TCP-like bidirectional
streaming API, I can run my BLIP protocol over it.
In short, I want to do basically what the P2P messaging API in iPhone
OS 3.0 does, but on Mac OS. (Bonus points if it could interoperate
with that API, but not required.)
[I'm sure there are Bluetooth-specific lists, but as BT is used for
such a variety of other purposes, and I know nothing about it, I
thought a network-focused list might be a better place to start :)]
