Ever been on a bus and seen a cute girl sitting in the corner and wished you had her number? Ever been in shop with annoying children playing ringtones and wish you could think of a subtle way to tell them stop it? Ever been in a classroom, office or a pub with your mates and wish you could scare, shock or make them laugh somehow? Now you can! As we like to say Find your target, take aim and let Sniper do the rest! Sniper is the subtle application that could make you the king of Bluetooth! With an amazing range of brand new features it will blow anything in its way right out of the water."</i><br /><br /> <img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/Temporale-20060615-Sniper.jpg" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/> <br /><br />Sniper is a Bluetooth application that allows you to do things like: Send anonymous messages, Send Files, Read Bluetooth status reports, Reply instantly to received messages, and Change the Bluetooth profile among other things. If you've been missing out on the fun your friends are having on their dumb phones over Bluetooth, this will help change that. ;)

Jason Langridge had some fun at other people's expense with this application during the Boston Tech-Ed.

Following are the updates:
· Message Templates! Sniper now comes with some basic message templates to speed up message texting. Even better you can create your own message templates with the touch of a button and save them for use over-and-over again!
· An address book. Sniper now has an address book facility. When you receive texts from old or new friends you can save the senders address with a "friendly name" in your address book so the next time you want to send them a message there is no need to wait for the scanner you can just pick them out of your address book! In addition you can also save addresses you find while scanning to your address book.
· Skinning! Sniper's skinning has been improved. You can now select different skins for the scanner and main screens. Sniper also comes with some cool new skins for the Scanner.
· BlueJacking! Access to the BlueJacking features of Sniper has been made much quicker and more intuitive.
· Sniper will now remember what Bluetooth mode you were using *before* you start Sniper and will revert to that mode upon exiting
