The easiest thing to do is use bonjour and sockets (through CF or NS). If Mac OS adopts the Bluetooth device to device support from the phone, your framework will just work.

What protocol is the iPhone using for this? (I googled [bluetooth 'device to device'] but that didn't turn up anything.) Is it something custom/undocumented?

From what you're saying, it sounds like the iPhone approach tunnels IP through Bluetooth, so the BT network looks like an IP subnet?

Thanks!
