Found Footage: The iPhone and the WiiMote
Matthias Ringwald, of iPhone Bluetooth fame, has just released BTstack 0.1 for iPhone.

This is so outside of my expertise it's scary, but I have an iPhone, and I just bought a Wii, so I'm intrigued.

Although that was incredibly awesome, I think most people would enjoy actually having OBEX, you know, that whole universal way of sending/receiving files that Steve-o decided we didn't need!

WELL-DONE.
If there is a donation link somewhere, I'll click it. Thank you for filling in Apple's stupid product segmentation gaps.

This would be great combined with a N64-emulator.
