Android 2.0 finally adds APIs that would allow apps like Locale to implement a “Bluetooth Condition.” If this were implemented, it would only be available on Android 2.0 phones.
Update: There are some Android bugs that will prevent this from being implemented for the time being. Specifically, we’ve found that Bluetooth will periodically crap out until the phone is rebooted.

I'm happy that others are looking for this as well. I would actually like to utilize the Bluetooth condition...
I would like to make it so entering my car (phone auto-syncs to BT) would turn my phone to vibrate if it is a workday between the hours of 7am and 4pm. This way, my phone would always be on vibrate when at the office and I would not have to worry about the delay of the location setting. This would work really nicely when in the car also since my car has its own ringer.
Actually, I wonder if it is possible to have the phone check location apon leaving the car. That way the ringer would always be off in the car, and the phone would know precisely when to check if I am at work or not.
It would work like this: Enter car, phone goes to silent. Leave car (@ office), phone goes to vibrate. Enter car, phone goes to silent. Leave car (@ home or anywhere else), phone goes to ringer.
This is we be PERFECT.
Thoughts?
