For those who don't know, another reason why BLE is great is that you can make Apple product hardware accessories without spending thousands of dollars on MFi (made for iOS) certification like you had to do with regular bluetooth. For those who want to get started sooner than December when coin launches, I found this site useful: http://blog.bluetooth-smart.com/2011/10/05/bluetooth-low-ene...

Great! I've been looking for an easy and affordable Arduino+BLE setup and this seems to fit the bill.
