It is not surprising. This apparently works with every phone OS I believe.

ulse oximetry on a cell phone
Pairing pulse oximeters with mobile phones will catapult pulse oximetry from the hospital into non-hospital settings. The inherent computing power of the mobile phone, its peripheral resources (LCD display; audio, serial and USB connectivity), battery power and everyday availability offer the opportunity to create a low-cost stand alone device that can be used by non-specialist healthcare workers and even patients at home. Real-time wireless communication of results to specialists offers another distinct advantage over traditional pulse oximeters. We are developing just such as intelligent mobile device, the Phone Oximeter.
