bluebuddy is a dive accessory, and as such it is not meant to replace your main dive computer, but, nevertheless, it provides some unique benefits of which the primary one is to make it easy - and fun - for you to log and share your dive memories.

Additionally, bluebudddy could be used as a back-up device. As an example, if you are in the middle of a dive trip and your primary dive computer malfunctions, then you could use bluebuddy and its App to plan your next dives so you can continue to enjoy your vacation.

If you are a dive instructor, you could use bluebuddy as a teaching aid. Equip each one of your students with a bluebuddy, then, at the end of a dive, review with them - right away - their dive profile and use it to point out any area that might need improvements such as a better buoyancy control or a slower ascent rate.

Lastly, if you are a dive operator you could use bluebuddy to monitor your customers 'a activities and make sure that they dive within the limits that you might have imposed as part of a specific dive.

Is the blubuddy's Bluetooth backwards compatible with Bluetooth 2.x devices like iPhone4 and iPad2? I mean I will probably get a new phone at some point, but it would be cool to be able to use bluebuddy before that!

No.
bluebuddy is a bluetooth 4.0 LE "single mode" device.
We decided this way because because of the extremely low power consumption of single mode LE devices.

is the battery of the blue buddy or tecbuddy user replaceable?
No. We estimate the battery should last for ~5 years for a recreational diver doing <50 dives x year.
We will offer a manufacturer replacement battery program.
