Re: Freerunner on a Mac ...
AFAIK, the Freerunner itself can install software when connected to a Mac. You'll need to setup networking, but I guess that will be covered in the FAQ. Here (Welcome to the OpenMoko page devoted to MacOS X users!): http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/MacOS_X What I am wondering about (and maybe you as wel...) is if it will be possible to re-flash the Freerunner using a Mac.

My machine is runs with Linux, so no problem on this side. The machine of my wife works with Tiger. Since I ordered a phone for her as well, she should be able to do basic administration with her Mac.

I've never used it for flashing images, but communications with the neo works perfectly through cdce on FreeBSD.
