Gadget Lab's Brian Lam sez: "I noticed that you covered bluephonemenu in the past, so figured I'd drop a line about the new os x panther update. I was just reading the update details and saw this :
"Dialog windows for incoming phone calls and SMS messages for a paired Bluetooth phone now appear in the foreground."
I just tested it. You have to pair your bluetooth phone in address book, and a little pop up comes up, like bluephonemenu. The dialog choices are: add card/log call, sms reply, hang up, answer.
Log call puts the time and date of the call in the address book entry
Unfortunately, the pop up box doesn't show an image of the person calling – that would be freakin' cool
For SMS, the pop-up box has the dialog choices: log sms, reply, and ok.
It's pretty good, and stable, but doesn't sit in the system tray like bluephonemenu.
Peter Orosz sez: "This feature was available in 10.3.0 and may have been available as far back as in 10.2.4. What actually makes it useful this time around is the caller-window-to-the-foreground feature. Previously, calls and sms's would still come in but remain lodged behind your other windows and you would find them hours after the call (since the address book is not usually your topmost window)."
