As it stands today, I could *probably* AppleScript the part of sending the 3GP video files from my Mac to my phone via Bluetooth, but there are just so many variables, email, Bluetooth, phone-connector cable... Playback software on the phone, etc... It's a nice idea, but it seems pretty niche right now. But if you do find something, let us know! Pete -- http://tinkernet.org/ videoblog for the future...
