 Last milestone reached: Restart client app without restarting BTdaemon possible
 
 NEXT:
-- iPhone status icon support
-  - set BTstack SpringBoard icon
 - client/server part using unix domain sockets (faster than TCP/IP)
 - autostart by launchd
   - Unix Socket example Mac: http://lists.apple.com/archives/Macnetworkprog/2007/Oct/msg00078.html
   - Mac OS X book: 472-485
   - check with launchd, too?
-  - launch.h exists in 3.0 SDK, but also in inofficial headers before
+    - launch.h exists in 3.0 SDK, but also in inofficial headers before
   - socket handling using kevent
-  - exists too.
-  - too complicated 
+    - exists too.
+    - too complicated 
 - stop  BTdaemon after X minutes idle
+- iPhone status icon support
+  - set BTstack SpringBoard icon from background deamon
+    - possible without MobileSubstrate
+	- MobileSubstrate used by veency
 - extend hci_logger to write to /var/hci_dump.txt as text
 - better deal with Apple stack
   - detect that it is running
