Jailbreak Only: iBlueNova Brings Full Bluetooth File Exchange Support To iPhone 3.0
February 16, 2010
The very limited implementation of the Bluetooth stack on the iPhone is yet another controversial limitation of the device. While we still have no signs of Apple adding some basic features to our iPhone's bluetooth like file exchange or HID support, the solution seems to be definitely coming from the jailbreak front.
After using your iPhone's Bluetooth to connect a keyboard or a mouse, you can now also use it to exchange files on iPhone 3.0. The tool which enables this, iBlueNova, was just released to Cydia and is available for $6 after a 15 days trial.
So what does it do? Well, it's a full OBEX implementation from what I'm hearing. It will let you exchange pictures, music and other files, between your iPhone and any other Bluetooth enabled device that allows it. This can be your Mac, other brand phones, and even your auto radio.
Pretty neat, huh?
