Airlock for the iPhone, and Your Mac

"The MHA, a Kentucky-based software company with a name that can be tough to work into sentences, released Airlock on Tuesday. Airlock unlocks your Mac when you approach it, and locks it again when you walk away, using the magic of Bluetooth to detect your proximity by looking for your iPhone (or later-gen iPod touch). Always assuming you don't forget your phone at your desk, of course."

This is something I'm interested in trying out, since I have to really be diligent on locking my laptop at work as my fellow employees are practical jokers that love to mess with an unprotected laptop, or iPhone for that matter. The program costs $7.77 USD and can be used on up to 3 Macs. There is also the failsafe manual password option in case your iPhone or iPod Touch runs out of juice. They do note, however, that there has been a recent compatibility issue with the wireless mouse and keyboard, and are working with Apple to correct it. More info can be found at the MHA website.
