[OT] Working with Android devices

[J. Landman Gay]

Take a look at AirDroid, it's free and in the Play Store. It mounts the 
Android device on the Mac desktop and allows dragging files in either 
direction over your local network. It also allows a lot of other things 
too, including running your Android apps on the Mac.

If you want a more shell type experience, use ADB, which you'll need to 
install anyway if you develop apps. ADB is part of the Android SDK.

For some types of files you can just cable the device to the Mac and it 
shows up as a volume on the desktop, but this has some limitations 
depending on the manufacturer.
