After long frustration with limited ability to transfer sensor data in and out of the iPhone, our hopes are restored again.
The iPhone OS 3.0 announced today contains explicit support for external hardware devices. The Apple video specifically talks about medical data. Of course there’s a lot of work still to be done to figure out the external accessory protocols, developer rules and limitations, available hardware tools from other vendors, etc. But the key is, Apple has started the momentum towards external iPhone sensors, and we believe it that momentum has a long way to run.
