Any suggestions / warnings / encouragement?

I just got a DROID, and I have a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard. Today is the first day I tried to connect via USB, and I found that DoubleTwist works great for transferring Photos, Movies, and Music back and forth. However, iTunes does not recognize the DROID, at least not out of the box.

Does that answer your question?

can someone please suggest some software for easily transferring photos / videos / music from the Droid to a Mac? Thanks.

DoubleTwist Does!

I have double twist installed but I don't use it that much because it runs so damn slow on my mac. Until you mentioned that it could pull photos and videos off the device itself I thought the only thing it was good for was looking at your audio in a logical order. It makes it very easy to remove audio since its like itunes.

I'm a mac(book pro) user but I'm also a Gmail/Google Calendar user and NOT a .mac/mobile me/iCal user. The mail and calendar stuff syncs just great, since it's online anyway. I put my music on there manually (copied it to a Music folder on the SD card) and added the media/audio/ringtones, notifications and alarms directories for some of my old ringtones.
