Steve Jobs appears to have fired off a tersely worded email reply to a user in Sweeden who asked whether the WiFi-only iPad could be tethered to the iPhone: “No.”

Jezper Söderlund of the Swedish website Slashat.se reports that he sent Apple’s chief executive an email identifying himself as an Apple customer before adding, “I’m also awaiting the release of the iPad.

These days we have talked a lot about the new version of iBluetooth MeDevil that has almost completely finished. The application is entered in beta and we got to try so hard to find below the full review exclusively on iSpazio. The changes are really a lot starting from the GUI, continuing with the icon, functions and even the name. Fact no longer defined as “iBluetooth” but will be called iBlueNova.

iBlueNova is the only application in the world that allows us to send and receive files, pictures, videos, and photos via Bluetooth with all other phones, smart phones and computers. It is therefore a complete release of Bluetooth natively blocked by Apple for the only communication between two iPhone or iPod Touch.

As soon as we start the application by clicking on the switch we turn on the bluetooth place on top of the menu item “Enable”. At this point we can set the visibility of our iPhone, to appear on all other devices and receive files. Read more…

A few days ago, the BTStack keyboard package was released to Cydia. This package, which we posted about recently, allows owners of jailbroken iPhones to use a Bluetooth keyboard with their iPhone 3G or 3GS, or 2nd generation or later iPod touch. The package is available for US$5.00 from Cydia.

Since the iPhone was first introduced, there have been efforts to bring support for external accessories. The iPhone 3.0 external accessory framework allowing accessories that connect to the universal dock connector or use Bluetooth has been closed, and only a few companies have developed accessories using the framework. The BTStack project by Matthias Ringwald offers a more complete and open Bluetooth stack for jailbroken iPhones. The stack has even been used with an iPhone and a Wii Remote over Bluetooth.

Kentucky-based The M.H.A. released their Mac-based security program Airlock on Tuesday. Airlock unlocks your Mac when you approach it, based on the proximity of the Bluetooth transceiver on youriPhone (or later-gen iPod touch). The Mac will lock when your device leaves the preset range, but Airlock also accepts your account password as backup, in case the device is unavailable or its battery dies: since you’ll be leaving Bluetooth turned on all the time, the battery will drain even faster than normal.
