How do you connect to Bluetooth Low Energy Devices?

I have several Bluetooth Low Energy devices and I am trying to connect them to my mac mini. My mac mini has bluetooth 4.0 and should be able to connect to devices. Is the Mac mini a slave or master? how do I discover my devices? Only bluetooth 2.1EDR devices show up when i look for devices. Does apple support Bluetooth Low Energy yet?

Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.5)

Apple supports BLE (Bluetooth low energy) but an application must be written to allow you to pair with other devices. The onus is on the device maker to create an application that will let your Mac Mini find these devices.
