I use Skype on my MacBook all day for work, and have always wanted to use a Bluetooth headset with it, but always ran into bad quality. I finally found a headset that worked well, the Plantronics Voyager Pro. However, there was still an issue in that it wouldn't disconnect after hanging up the call, causing the battery on both the MacBook and the earpiece to drain way too quickly.
To remedy this, I wrote this AppleScript, which I run with a keystroke (via FastScripts) to hang up a Skype call and disconnect the bluetooth headset. Here's the script: With this script, the next time I answer or make a new call, it reconnects with no problems. (Thanks to Jacob Rus for the menu_click function).
