An Android simulator for Mac OS X that offers you the possibility to experience applications or games developed for the Android operating system.
Afplay droid.m4a afplay comes installed in Mac OS X and does not require any additional downloads. You can also just double-click on the file in the Finder and it will open in iTunes, or you can launch it in whatever your favorite audio player is. I had this Droid sound set as my iPhone ringtone for a while and it always turned some heads. Droid4x is intended to be an Android emulator that offers you the possibility to experience mobile applications or games on your desktop computer. In addition, Droid4x is designed to let you use your mobile device as a controller for the app or game running on your Mac. But at least the Droid is available from providers other than AT&T. And yes, it does work with a Mac. The Droid Eris runs Google’s Android 1.5 operating system, while the Motorola Droid is already on Android 2.0. (The Eris is slated for an upgrade to 2.0 or 2.1 in first quarter 2010.).

Droid4x is intended to be an Android emulator that offers you the possibility to experience mobile applications or games on your desktop computer. In addition, Droid4x is designed to let you use your mobile device as a controller for the app or game running on your Mac.
The developers are also working on an iOS Droid4x counterpart that should help you deploy Android apps on your iPhone or iPad. Subscribe on the Droid4x website to receive an email notification when the Droid4x iOS client will be published.
Carefully install the Android simulator on your Mac
Droid4x comes with its own installer app that handles both the download and installation processes. However, since Droid4x is using the VirtualBox application, you might encounter issues when trying to boot the Droid4x image.
To make sure everything will run smoothly, uninstall the VirtualBox app (note that the VirtualBox archive includes an uninstallation script that runs in your Terminal), launch the Droid4x installer, and then deploy the Droid4x app using the installer app. Even then you might encounter various errors, and the developers do not provide any type of support.
Unfortunately, they do not offer any indications before using the Droid4x installer app either, which might lead to a very frustrating experience: both the Droid4x and VirtualBox download and installation procedures take a considerable amount of time.
Explore the Google Play store and install your favorite Android apps on your Mac
Once you manage to boot the Droid4x VirtualBox image, you will be able to browse the Google Play Store applications in a well organize interface, and install any of the available apps. Droid4x seamlessly emulates the behavior of a device running on the Android operating system right on your desktop.
As a result, you will be able to enjoy your favorite games on a large display, while using an Android device to control your characters in a more intuitive and user friendly manner.

Easily import Android photos into iPhoto | 7 comments | Create New Account
Click here to return to the 'Easily import Android photos into iPhoto' hint
The following comments are owned by whoever posted them. This site is not responsible for what they say.
If you own an eyeFi-Card: Install the eyeFi-App on your Android device and new photos will be transferred to your mac when entering the home WLAN. Or signup for a dropbox account. There you have to move all new taken photos manually to, but you don't need an iPad or eyeFi-Card.
I've been using the awesome android app Cheetahsync, which lets you set up and sync any number of folders between your computer (mac or pc) and your android device, either or both directions, over wifi. The same dev also makes isyncr wifi, which syncs itunes playlists but also has an option to upload new photos and videos from your phone to your computer. My problem is I haven't been able to get folder actions working consistently in order to automatically import any synced photos automatically into iPhoto. Any advice there would be appreciated!
Or, if you want to store files in Dropbox, use (free) DropSync to sync /mnt/sdcard/DCIM . This has the advantage of backing up your photos (to the cloud) even if you are not in wifi range of your main computer.
Or you could just install the Camera DCIM app from the Android Market. It's the standard Camera app with proper support for the DCIM standard (which is what makes iPhoto recognize and show the pictures in your digital camera). Let's be clear here: I am the developer and the app costs 0.99$. Before you think this is spam, however, know that I sent the 'bug fix' to Google long ago and nobody cared to reply. All the source code is available on github and I welcome you to download it, compile it and install it by yourself on your own phone without moving a penny (just remember to enable 'External sources' or you won't be able to install your own apk). The 0.99$ is just a shortcut if you want it ready at your fingertips.

Bump also reduces the size of the photos, so if you want full size photos, you will still have to use one of the other methods mentioned in the comments.

It would be neato if Apple would create an 'Add to iPhoto Automatically' folder, like the one they have for iTunes. I have a Mac mini hooked to my HDTV/home theater, and all of the music files that me and the rest of the family collect get copied to the folder that adds to the mini's iTunes automatically (the folder is shared via AFP and SMB). This way, everyone's music is in the home theater system, plus we've got extra copies in case the original files get lost for whatever reason. We used to just use a generic shared folder as a dumping ground for music, connect to the mini via VNC, and from there drop the audio files into iTunes. The new method is obviously a lot faster. If Apple would implement a similar folder for iPhoto, it would seem to solve a lot of various issues that people have with getting their photos into iPhoto with little manual effort.
'All you need is an iPad' assumes you have a few hundred bucks handy to solve the problem :) Is it really that hard to get photos from a Droid into iPhoto? With my Android phone, I just connect the phone to my Mac via USB, it mounts on the desktop, and iPhoto recognises it as a camera and presents me with the Import page. That's actually less hassle than my Kodak point and shoot camera, which I always have to pop the SD card out of and slot into my MBP's card reader before iPhoto will recognise it.
