Just to keep this forum alive: I dloaded Proximity (a bit difficult to find it), copied-pasted the code in the original post, commented out the “notif” lines and voilà, everything worked fine. Then I added
tell application “iTunes” to pause
and
tell application “iTunes” to play.
I tried Romeo but it kept connecting – disconnecting from the phone (must say my Sony C510 is not listed as compatible, my old T68i was, and Romeo worked perfectly wit it).

I’ll give Airlock a try. In the meantime I have been using deskshade (http://macrabbit.com/deskshade/) in conjunction with proximity inorder to get around the screensaver issue. The Away and Available scripts are posted below.

~~-##Available##~~-
—Desk Shade Unlock
tell application “DeskShade”
unlock
quit
end tell

~~-##Away##~~-
—Lock DeskShade
tell application “DeskShade”
lock
end tell
end run

Hi guys, I’m a teacher and I’m trying to develop an app to notice if my students are or are not attempting to my classes. To do so I wonder if it is possible to check every MAC address of every student bluetooth phone previously assigned in my app’s data base. So, if the student is in the class room, I would no it checking his phone proximity. Any one can help me accomplish this goal. I work with applescript. Thanks.

I’m not that happy with AirLock. It produces so much activity on the disk and the items it consists of are scatered all over the drive. Proximity is so slim and elegant and I would really love to find a solution, to get it run again in Snow Leo.

It looks like there’s an application that may finally do what we want in Snow Leopard. Unfortunately right now it only supports the iPhone and iPod touch. They say, however, that they plan to include support for other bluetooth devices in the future. The application is called Airlock: http://themha.com/airlock/
