We've spent some time looking into this and found that there are some limitations to the iPhone/iPod/iPad Bluetooth abilities. While the ability to interface with some devices via Bluetooth was released with iOS 3, it appears that in order for this to work, we would have to include an auth chip from Apple and have the device approved by Apple. (The only other option to have any sort of data transfer is to "jail break" the device, thus "unlocking" the protocol needed for the the iOS devices to send and receive data via bluetooth, which we would not recommend.)
We will continue to monitor this as time goes on. There are a good number of developers working to bring in live data to PDA-based ballistics software, and we even have a few Android developers working on this functionality.
