iPhone to iPhone networking

Question

I am interested in developing an iPhone application that creates ad-hoc networks between iPhones.

Is such an application feasible?

I am a novice with iPhone development, so I apologise in advance for my naiivety.

Thanks

In iPhone OS 3.0, Bluetooth is used to create an ad-hoc network and has been developed for this purpose.

Here is some documentation.

On a side note, there are some games that use the current access point and scan the subnet that they are on and find other listening clients. Then they create a game that way.
