I imagine setting the iPhone on it's side, and then whip out the keyboard and start typing.

My HTC 8125 Windows Mobile 5 phone did all of this with Salling Clicker... but Apple's own phone is too crippled to work as well with OS X as a Windows Mobile phone... Pretty amazing.

Just purchased it, after finally getting a phone that works with it (SE W880i). I am only using v1 as v2 has a few bugs (but alot of promising features) Messaging in SO easy on a keyboard, Call Alerts are GREAT for when you forget to take your phone off silent and Proximity opens up alot of Wow! features (Welcome Greetings and Screen Sleeps) - I am really hoping that BPE will work with the iPhone OR Leopard offers similiar functionality built-in, even if only for the iPhone!

When I get an incoming call it pauses my iTunes and displays the name and number large on the screen. It unpauses iTunes when the call is over. When I get an SMS, It pops up on the screen and I can reply from the machine, via Bluetooth. Send and receiving texts without even taking your phone out of your pocket is damned cool. There's also proximity detection meaning when I leave bluetooth range (which is pretty far in a small apartment, so if I pop out is a good example) it can pause iTunes and start a screensaver. Enjoy!

You get back, dock the iPhone or just plonk it down on the desk, and it syncs up automatically and routes it's controls to the Mac, brilliant! Even if it's just as simple as pausing iTunes and giving notifications on the Mac with growl, maybe playing the ringtone through it's speakers. No more missing calls because you left your phone in your bag in vibrate mode. It could definitely sync the messaging with Mail and Address Book when it's next to a paired Mac so you could reply using it's keyboard and search your message history with spotlight... drool...

An on screen visualization would be acceptable too. As a "headphones on" worker, either of these would help me avoid missing calls. “1. iTunes pauses/drops the volume…”

It's just a theory of how the iPhone could work in conjunction with your Mac to boost productivity. IT's the kind of idea that I can see Apple having in mind for a 2nd or 3rd generation iPhone, something that really pushes the integration of computing and mobile technology. Heck all the info you need in address book should already be there on your Mac if it's in your iPhone! I agree with you there Matt.

Nor is it really speculation but rather a theory about how compatibility could benefit us in the future. I took it as being a generalised topic made in context of an audience which also uses an example which actually could happen. I for one like thought provoking articles and am sick of the same things being copied and pasted between every blog, rumour and "news" site related to Apple.

To take it one stage further they could add the ability for auto-skype/AIM relay when connected to any wireless network using the same number/interface. This would allow for cheap calls either way and work much as described in your article. This is the holy grail. This is almost exactly what I have been looking for for a long time.
