Okay. The iPhone can't do jack with a Mac or PC over Bluetooth. So what the heck is "IrMC Sync?" Well, according to Wikipedia, it's a standard Bluetooth profile for PIM item syncing. I've seen it pop up before, most recently on a Sony Ericsson W710i.
Could this herald some iSync-over-Bluetooth goodness for the iPhone? Only time will tell. Full screen shot after the jump.

iRMC is an open source sync standard, good for linux users (as a start)

I think just that's the standard Bluetooth SYNC profile. I'm pretty sure that's exactly what iSync uses for standard Bluetooth sync with phones. Now iSync supports all kinds of proprietary protocols as well, but IIRC, back in the days of iSync 1.0, it was IrMC or nothing.
See "Synchronization Profile (SYNC)" on this page:
