You know what's cool? Handing out five,000 Android tablets to your most loyal developers at Google I/O. You know what's not cool? Handing out five,000 Android tablets that cannot have files loaded onto them. Think or not, that's precisely what happened at this week's I/O conference, where hordes of developers had been handed a Galaxy Tab 10.1 Limited Edition that can't presently interface with OS X, and has a whale of a time performing so with Windows 7.
In the course of our initial preview of Music Beta, we noticed that our MacBook Pro (OS X 10.6) wouldn't truly recognize the tablet, even right after installing Android File Transfer. Given that we didn't actually need that functionality for the purpose of stated write-up, we threw it on the backburner.For those unaware, Android File Transfer is actually a little app that is necessary to transfer content between OS X and Android three.0. Avid users of Froyo and Gingerbread may possibly be appalled that any Honeycomb device they get will require a piece of software program to interface with it, but hey -- there it's. At any rate, it seems to us that the most recent construct of Android File Transfer doesn't consist of the device ID for Samsung's heretofore unreleased Tab 10.1; if you'll recall, the normal edition of this thing isn't slated to hit consumer hands until June 8th. Regardless of what tricks we tried (installing a Mac version of Kies Mini, as an example), we couldn't get a single Apple in our stable to recognize the factor. In 1 instance, a Mac viewed the device as a "Samsung Modem" within the Networking pane -- that's as close as we could come to obtaining the two to mingle. AllThingsD's Ina Fried said her Tab 10.1 LE was merely recognized as a camera-like device within Aperture.
