    Google Field Trip

    The latest firmware (from Samsung) for this device is I997UCLB3. I can confirm that Google Field Trip installs and works on the 2.3.6 (Gingerbread) firmware. As far as the Mac problem (perhaps not a problem just that Samsung thinks everyone runs Windows) you may be able to get by running...
