Try CoolBook. Seriously the best 10 dollars for my MB Pro. And I've been happily Windows free fro years now (Fedora for the desktop, OSX for the laptop).

Mac user here.

2.93GHz Core i7 27" iMac, 2.4GHz MacBook and a 64GB 3G iPad.

I do like the iPhone (sorry, but I do)... but hate hate hate AT&T's service where I live. Especially sucks where I work. Verizon, however, is fantastic here. So Verizon it is.

Droid 1, Cyanogenmod 6.0 (non-themed) and overclocked to 1GHz.

I have nothing but macs at home for all business stuff. I'm a professional musician/composer and Pro Tools (or Logic) on Mac is the industry standard. I would never get an iPhone, though, even though it would make media syncing easier. AT&T + closed market + locked units = no go. Plus, I am having so much fun tinkering with this Droid X it is ridiculous. Now if only I could move those digital copies of movies you get when you buy Blu-Rays I have in iTunes to my Droid...but alas, they are DRM protected for iTunes only and the Requiem guy hasn't found a way around iTunes 9.2.1...yet.

We've got a iMac at home too. Tally it up!

Macbook x 2 and a Mac mini.

early 2008 aluminum iMac here, using Salling Media Sync to keep everything painlessly in sync with my Droid 1, soon-to-be Droid X

While I don't yet have my Droid X, I have a 13" Macbook Pro and love it. The great graphics and the awesome mouse pad means no more Windows laptops for me - except the clunker at work.

First Mac after being a Windows dude for 20+ years. (hey, I'm a little slow) Actually, I've been supporting MS servers since NT 3.1 was released and as long as MS exists - I'll have a job.

I currently have a 13" MBP, and have had iMacs since 1999.

MBP x2 here, I've owned and hate the iPhone. I just wish that I could root my Droid X with out flashing back to 2.1 or downloading windows and partitioning it (need windows drivers).

I want a MacBook, and I had a droid first. I'm actually posting this on the company iPad

You HAVE to get Linux... especially if you're an Android tinkerer. Linux experience has made playing with the Android system soo much easier.... plus no proprietary motorola drivers for sbf.

Does anyone know if you can use bootcamp to put linux onto a MBP?

I have a MacBook Pro 4,1 for work. I reformatted the drive and run Ubuntu 10.10 on it now - couldn't stand OSX. Does that still count?

You can dual boot OSX and Linux using rEFIt, or you can install it using VirtualBox for a slightly easier way to try things out. If you want to go whole hog, here's some help for you:

I have a macbook unibody dual loaded with OSX and Win7. I found using Win7 easier than the OSX but i have not given up on OSX.

My home computer is a five year old ibook G4. Works great with my Droid X.

Ubuntu? Fedora all the way.

Uh oh, another religious war! To be honest I'm more of an old-school Slackware fan but I've moved to Ubuntu because they have it deployed at work. Fedora's not bad, but I'd be too tempted to have to deal with Fedora for desktops and then CentOS for my servers. I guess not much worse than Ubuntu desktop and Ubuntu server except both are from Canonical while Fedora is RedHat and CentOS is only a RedHet clone. So far I've been pleased with the Ubuntu community support (even if I'm not too keen on their fixed six-month upgrade cycle whether it's stable or not - luckily my servers will probably stay on 10.04 until the next LTS release).
