iBeacon is done with BlueTooth LE. I'm curious as to whether or not Apple is to cripple this like the rest of their protocols by making it an Apple only, closed protocol. They seem to constantly cut their own throat with their fear of competition. It's especially annoying when they base these proprietary protocols on perfectly good open protocols (iMessage,iBooks,FaceTime/XMPP,EPub,SIP). As a developer I find it amazing that other software developers will even consider their products.
