Remember that it's the 0.1 version, not 1.0

 . I want to clean the UI and add support for other apps. Now , it have support for gaim (msn, jabber, aim ... ) and evolution .

I think that "Send to Bluetooh device" it's not correct . I think it's more correct "Copy/Move to..." and then a dialog to select which device or place (Bluetooth, ipod, my_web_site ... ). 
I think "Send to" is better for something like evolution, xchat, fax, gaim, gossip. Because you really "send" something or the user understand that this action is "to send". You send files in evolution or gaim , but you don't send files to your celular ( or pda ...)  , you copy or move files in it.
