No luck on more detailed explanation, sorry. But there are other articles mentioning JackSMS, maybe you could check them out: <a href="http://mathamlin.com/speak/proximity-jacksms-applescript-mac-fun/" rel="nofollow">from Matt Hamlin</a>, <a href="http://themarktrix.blogspot.com/2009/05/security-proximity-sensor-iphone-with_15.html" rel="nofollow">from TheMarktrix</a> and <a href="http://www.macobserver.com/columns/macgadget/2006/20060612.shtml?ppp=50&p=261602&sid=bcc3a7624d2b1556811ec1d5468cd72b" rel="nofollow">from The Mac Observer</a>.

The software seems to work alright, however, it doesn't send out an email (although prefs are set correctly). I suspect it's because I don't have any mail accounts set up with the default mail app. But there's no way to be certain. I was just wondering if there's any documentation explaining the app in a bit more detail. Is there any JackSMS howto guide?

After today's article, though, I understand that SMS is in this case the Sudden Motion Sensor. *sigh* Okay, I was frustrated that you went from talking about accelerometer to sending a text message to my phone.
