Now that Apple has split .Mac syncing (preference pane) from device syncing (iSync), I'd like to create an Automator workflow that will cause my PowerBook to automatically sync (with iSync) with my Motorola V551 whenever it is within Bluetooth range.

Is there some easy way to accomplish this? I'm having hard time thinking through the steps, and the Automator actions that Apple provides don't look like they'll be able to get the job done.

Help!

Thanks.
