For a list of Bluetooth MAC addresses lookup, see this database -- http://web.archive.org/web/20100604064309/http://802.15ninja.net/bnapbnap/thelist.php nYou can also find out which Bluetooth devices are around you by using the BTScanner (actively) or bluelog (passively, over time) tools. I also recommend under Linux that you check out the hcitool scan --all --flush and bluetoothctl commands since they offer active and passive Bluetooth device identification capabilities as well.
