New Mac software let's Leopard users dial phone numbers and send text messages from within any application.
The $9.95 software, Phone plugins, has been introduced by Nova Media. It includes its own Bluetooth wizard to connect a mobile to the Mac in one step once a phone has been paired with the Mac.
"Back in Mac OS X 10.4 it was possible to dial a number and send a text message from the Address Book using a mobile phone connected over Bluetooth," said Nova Media PR, Jan Fuellemann. "Apple has discontinued this option in Mac OS X 10.5. We have not only bought it back to life, but have improved it as well."
The plug-in introduces 'Dial number' and 'Send text message' commands within Address Book and any other compatible applications through the 'Services' menu.
If the selected number is known to Address Book, Phone plugins will automatically display the appropriate name in the new call window or text message window.
