Tell us! Product Description: Caller ID is an application that displays information about the person calling you before you answer the phone. It works in background and provides a visual alert to inform you about the person currently calling on the phone. It's very flexible and supports many options. The Caller ID benefits are many: it lets you identify phone callers before answering the phone; it alerts you to the source of annoying or harassing calls; it lets you distinguish business from personal calls; it lets you decide in advance how to answer and respond; it provides you security; it alerts you to unwanted incoming calls. Caller ID uses your Address Book contacts to match and identify a phone number. To receive the caller ID information, you need a modem or a Bluetooth enabled mobile phone. You can also forward this information to other clients in your LAN. Alternatively you can setup Caller ID to receive the caller ID connecting to another running copy of Caller ID in your LAN. The application works in background and can be automatically launched at login. You can use its menu in the menubar to set its main options and to access the Preferences panes. Caller ID can interact with other applications via AppleScript when a phone call arrives. This opens a word of new possibilities to users. The application comes along with some samples that shows as to create AppleScripts and some ways in which this feature can be useful. Users than can adapt these scripts or create new ones to fit their needs. These sample scripts include: Show AB Card When a call arrives, opens the Address Book's card of the caller. If this number is not in Address Book, the script ask user whether he/she wants to add a new card and present to user a new card with the phone number already entered. Pause iTunes When a call arrives, check if iTunes is open and put it in Pause mode whether a song is playing. This is very useful for people that prefer to avoid to manually pause iTunes when receive a call. Set iChat status Away When a call arrives, sets the status of iChat to Away if it's open whit the message "On the phone". This is very useful for people that prefer to not be bothered when receive a call.
