A couple of us were kicking around the idea of a low cost JT65-like HF modem implementation, which requires that the station be synchronized to 1 second.

While this is trivial with a GPS receiver, we were thinking about a very minimalist implementation, with a smart phone as the control interface.

That brought up another discussion about whether it is possible to get time sync (at a better than 1 second, but potentially at the milliseconds level) across bluetooth or WiFi from a cellphone (Android or iDevice).

Say you wanted to "set the clock" on an Arduino or embedded processor. Could you do it via a wireless (or, I guess, a wired connection).

Has anyone done it? the iPhone runtime environment is pretty sandboxed, and you might not be able to do that.
