S110 v7.0 available this week. What do you guys think?

[John Leonard]

A big update this week for our S110 SoftDevice. Full OTA DFU for SoftDevice and Application. Also Multi-acivity concurrency for Bluetooth Smart and 2.4GHz protocols. As Developers working with our products we're interested in your thoughts?

Looking for clarifications on the v4.1 Bluetooth support ...

Does that mean two S110 devices can exchange data directly between eachother ?

ie. as described in http://www.trustedreviews.com/opinions/bluetooth-4-1-what-is-it-and-why-should-you-care

Improved Data Transfer Bluetooth 4.1 devices can act as both hub and end point simultaneously. This is hugely significant because it allows the host device to be cut out of the equation and for peripherals to communicate independently.

For example, whereas previously a smartwatch would need to talk to your phone to get data from a heart monitor, now the smartwatch and heart monitor can talk directly saving your phone’s battery and then upload their compiled results directly to your phone. This is crucial to the Internet of Things concept: peripherals become independent and can build their own networks before bringing the collation of all their data to you.

The S110 v7.0 is still Peripheral only, afaik. I guess you could somehow use the multi-activity feature to implement a Central.
