FRANKNS  Puzzled ...

Apple allows one to pair your iPhone to your Mac ... but not connect. Correct?

How could this work?

PETER SICHEL  >Apple allows one to pair your iPhone to your Mac ... but not connect. Correct?

Not exactly, it depends on what you are trying to do.

Phone Amego opens an RFCOMM connection using the Handsfree Profile (HFP) just like a Bluetooth headset. From there it can detect when the phone rings, request call status, or instruct the phone to dial. In practice it works quite well. One limitation is you can't use a Bluetooth headset and Phone Amego at the same time.

While iPhone does not offer the same rich interface as other Bluetooth phones, it does just enough to provide onscreen callerID and click to dial from your Address Book.

FRANKNS  Okay ...

Maybe it would be nice to have some kind of confirming message from Amego, telling us that the iPhone connection is live and working? So far, all I've seen is a bluetooth error message, and no way to know that Amego is "live."

MYMAC8MYPC  Phone Amego is a great application that monitors your compatible Bluetooth cellphone and notifies you of a incoming call via a popup window on your Mac. This window displays the caller's phone number, and if the contact is in your Mac's built in Address Book, the window will display the callers name, phone number and photo. In conjunction with Google Voice, you can initiate calls within Address Book without having to dial the number on your cell phone. Simply click on "work" or "home" to the left of the phone number and select "Dial with Phone Amego" or "SMS with Phone Amego". This Snow Leopard compatible application resides in your menu bar where you can access all of Phone Amego's preferences which includes launching an AppleScript with inputs such as an incoming call, or your cell phone is out of range. I have Phone Amego set up with my Google Voice account and my iPhone. When I get a call I have an AppleScript play a iTunes song that says

"ring... ring... your iPhone is ringing" the song plays through my AirPort Express connected to a whole house speaker system. I didn't find any bugs in the latest build and the developer answers questions promptly. All in all, I highly recommend this app!

CURLYPAWS  A very nice program that works well with the iPhone and isn't overloaded with too many features. I've found it to be very stable in operation, unlike some of its competitors.

JASONFANDORA  Good idea and it simple.

But 20 bucks? Gimme a break. Just for that I give it 2 stars instead of 4.
