I know the iPhone Bluetooth capabilities won't be accessible through the SDK until 3.0, but how long should it take to find devices in the area? Is it dependent on the number of devices in the area? If there are around 5 devices in range, should a scan to discover all of them take <5 seconds, or >30 seconds?
I know there are a lot of unknown factors, but I'm trying to determine if I can do a Bluetooth scan on startup if the time is minimal, or if I have to tell the user it is about to do a scan and there could be a long delay. I am unable to test this in the real world as the other Bluetooth devices aren't available, but I am trying to get a sense of how it could be designed.
