What I have always thought of as a very nifty application would be to
integrate iChat with a bluetooth phone. All the 'bits' are there just
the Bluetooth drivers need to be updated, and the bits need to be glued
together.
At the moment, the phone book is in the Mac, and shared with the phone
(well, for modern bluetooth phones), the mac has a speaker and a mic.
Would make for a nice handsfree kit.
Just food for thought.

The current bluetooth stack only supports a single SCO (audio)
connection at a time, and only exposes it as an audio device so you
can't hook it up to your phone via the handsfree profile.
It would indeed be very nice for the Mac to 'route' phone calls to a
Bluetooth headset, but it'll take improvements to the bluetooth stack
to let it happen. I'm also not sure if the Bluetooth hardware builtin
to the newer Macs can support more than one concurrent SCO connection.
