iOS App WiFi Syncing works over Bluetooth Tethering

Was using my MacBook today tethered to my iPhone 4 over Bluetooth. WiFi was disabled on my Mac, and not connected on the iPhone. I launched Things.app, and to my great surprised, it synced! I tried syncing Jumsoft Money and Bento, and they also synced without a hitch.

This makes perfect sense as OS X speaks Bonjour out of all its interfaces. I’m all but certain it would just fine over USB as well. Naturally, syncing over Bluetooth was not as quickly as syncing over WiFi.

P.S. I even used PasteBot Sync (over Bluetooth) to grab the screenshot for this post.
