This is one of the most useful of third-party Mac OS X utility applications. It allows one to use their Bluetooth-enabled Sony Ericsson cell phone or Palm PDA as a remote controller for applications on one's Bluetooth-enabled Mac. v2.0.1 adds a variety of improvements, including improved support for various phones including the T616, T618, Z600 and Z608. Here's the full list:
• Support for Mac OS X 10.3 "Panther" (screen saver unlocking not yet possible);
• Support for Palm OS 4 handhelds, the new Palm Tungsten T3, and Sony Clié (including Japanese models);
• Support for more phone models:
• Sony Ericsson T39mc (China)
• Sony Ericsson T618 (China)
• Sony Ericsson Z608 (China)
• Sony Ericsson Z600
• Old Ericsson T68m (improved support)
• Added option to allow Mac to sleep while connected;
• Should now functions properly with PDAs even if adapter wasn't plugged in at login time (some adapters may not support this);

• Now works properly on Icelandic (on possibly other) systems;
• Worked around BlueChat incompatibility problem;
• Improved "soft" left/right keys on non-Tungsten models (they now repeat when held down);
• Option for less frequent live-updating on slow machines (uses less CPU);
• Internet radio stations in iTunes are now presented better on some phone models;
• Powerpoint slide notes are now truncated in the main keypad view;
• Now uses correct file permissions for installed prefPane (so it can be easily removed);
• Address Book lookup for incoming calls is more accurate (and faster);
• Palm messageboxes and popup dialogs are now resized dynamically to "hug" the contained text;
• Now includes uninstaller;
• Now includes a script to fix iPhoto when Italian is set as the system language;
• No longer reconnects when applying changes;
• Fixed spurious connection issues with Palm application;
• Fixed PowerPoint scripts to better handle PowerPoint's inability to respond to AppleEvents when showing animated GIF (this problem seems fixed altogether under Mac OS X 10.3 "Panther");
• iTunes actions now provide access to (loaded) shared playlists and radio stations;
• Fixed a rare crash issue upon disconnecting from a phone; and
• Some minor UI issues were fixed
