Macs and P900

Hello P900 and Apple Users !

I am wondering: can you see the P900 an an icon on the Mac desk and is it possible to edit directly the Memorystick on the Mac ?

Well, you can't see the P900 on your desktop as far as I know. In theory, as P900 supports ftp over BT this might be possible in the future. There is a 'Browse Device' option in BT under Panther which successfully establishes a connection to my P900, but never actually shows any files.

If you have a memory stick/media reader reader (PC card, or USB), you can certainly mount the memory stick. I do it on my PowerBook all the time.

Microsoft Virtual PC 6 basically creates a PC inside your Mac and then fools all software and USB devices into thinking it is a real PC. Excellent piece of software and allows Mac users to fully communicate with the P900. The only bad thing is the �200 price tag.

However purchased this last week and have no regrets at all!

In USD it cost around $119 but that's for the Virtual PC itself only, you'll need a copy of Windows too ..
