Heart rate monitor + iPhone?

I'd like to start using a heart rate monitor, and I was wondering whether it's possible to buy a HRM strap that can communicate to an iPhone (via Bluetooth, perhaps). I already use the iPhone app Cyclemeter to record my rides, so I have the handlebar mount. I started looking around and came across iBiker, iPhone Fitness Adapter, and a few others. Any recommendations? Anyone here already using something they like? Good experiences, bad experiences?

I know that the endomondo app has a bluetooth chest strap that integrates with the app.. I use the android version and it has become my favorite app for riding and running.. Never tried with Bluetooth strap, but they do offer 2 kinds..

Here's what I use:

It lets iPhone apps talk to various ANT+ compatible devices -- e.g., Garmin HRMs, speed/cadence sensors, power meters, etc.
