Detect iDevices and exchange information

Question

I would like to develop an application on iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad which will be able to:

• run in backgroup
• Detecte other iDevices which are close to the iPhone
• Exchange information with these devices

I do not know if it is better to use wifi or bluetooth in that case but what I would like to achieve is to have something which does not require configuraion (bonjour?)

Thanks in advance for your ideas and pointers.

Regards,
