you can get a number of bluetooth HRM's now so as long as there's software on the phone that can talk to it you shoudl be ok.

it's an ANT+ dongle which allows you to use ANT+ equipment - ANT+ works in the same frequency band as bluetooth but uses a different protocol, for low power devices - eg speed, cadence, hrm, power sensors - supposed to be lower power than bluetooth.
Tho' if the hrm is all you need, bluetooth might be one to go for, at the cost of replacing/rechaging batteries - I guess you could always try dropping a mail to some of the manufacturers to see what runtimes they expect (eg I got a ueful reply from Trek/Bontrager regarding their ANT+ computers..)

jond There's another one of those ANT+ dongles about but they haven't got approval here from whoever administers radio frequency licences (both nationally and at EU level). You might be able to get one via Bundlebox as they won't ship to a British address.
