Cell phone tech? App?
Its called Bluetooth, it was invented in the pre-iPhone era by a wacky company called Ericsson. Apple and Google should have paid FRAND patent monies for it and this could be found in both handsets - should be all.
Unless Apple and Google suffer from the "not invented here" disease, that most american companies tend to suffer from..
Hmm, dunno if the iPad has bluetooth, but it should. Even my car has bluetooth, but Apple has ignored standards before (see European requirement for micro-usb chargers)
(whacky tidbit) the guy who invented customizable ringtones works for Microsoft, yet when they rebooted Windows Mobile into Windows Phone it lacked the option to customise ringtones
and that kiddies, is why you should buy a Nokia as your next handset. Great hardware, substandard software - good enough.
