Does the 3.0 SDK allow communication with several devices via Bluetooth at the same time? I was wondering if multiple 3rd party accessories could commnicate with iPhone at the same time using Bluetooth. I have app ideas that could take advantage of this feature. It hasn't been too clear to me if this is possible.
 
No

Apparently not, according to http://www.macworld.com/article/141249/iphonea2dp.html

If you’ve got multiple Bluetooth accessories—for example, a standard phone headset and a set of A2DP speakers—things get a little messier. While the iPhone and iPod touch can be paired with multiple devices simultaneously, only a single Bluetooth accessory can maintain an active connection with the iPhone or iPod at any time. If you’re listening to music through a Bluetooth speaker system and a phone call comes in, you can answer the call on your favorite Bluetooth headset by pressing the headset’s Connect button to connect with your iPhone, but doing so drops the connection with the speakers. When the call is over, you must reconnect with the speakers (which disconnects the headset).

Shame....
