Apple has just revamped their hardware partner program, supposedly providing easier access to BL4 chipsets. Other hardware makers will certainly follow. I bet (and hope) this will be bigger than RFID.

What are you attempting to say here?

While Apple has made recent changes to MFi (can't discuss, NDA), these are expressly NOT about access to Bluetooth LE or 4.0 "chipsets".

What IS true is that you don't have to go through MFi to have a device that talks LE to an iOS device.

Is this what you were trying to say?

Yeah, I misused "chipsets". AFAIK you need an Apple-certified chip to interface to an iOS device via BT/AirPlay, isn't that right?

I'm just relaying news I've hear somewhere else, feel free to correct me.
