NXT and iPod touch

My kids are planning to upgrade the OS on their iPods to 3.0. Apparently this
upgrade will enable the bluetooth functionality that has been there all along.

The question: does anyone have any experience with iPod Bluetooth and our
beloved NXT?

Thanks,
Rafe

No, it will not work. Due to Apple's restrictions, any device that a developer wants to talk to over Bluetooth must be brand-new and approved by Apple. The developer of the iNXT Remote app says that if the restrictions are changed, he will gladly add direct Bluetooth support. Until then, if you have a computer with Bluetooth in it, you can use it with the iNXT Remote app to control your robots. :)
