I just bought this today at Circuit City after reading good reviews on CNET.com. It claims to work with XP and OSX.

Worked great in XP with no drivers. Just plugged it in and pushed files onto it.

OS 10.2 was another story however. I plugged it in and nothing happened! I checked the readme and it says I need a plugin for iTunes that I cannot seem to download from www.sonicblue.com/itunes with my browser.

I had to go to my XP machine to go to the same link to download it! I was not happy about that at all.

My MAC is connected via wireless to an Airport which then connects to my Covad iDSL router. My XP PC connect directly to a Linksys Wireless router and then to the Covad (I am too far from the CO and iDSL is all I get).

Wonder why the mac/airport won't let me FTP the file within my browser?

Any thoughts?

This round of ease of installation goes to XP, unfortunately.......

Well, it should have nothing at all to do with the way your computer is hooked to the internet (routers, etc) as long as it is indeed connected.
I just tried that link from my Mac (using Chimera 0.6 for OSX), and I can't download it either, which is very odd. I have absolutely no trouble downloading anything from anywhere, so this is odd. It seems, to me, to be more of a problem with the site itself. Don't assume it's a limitation of the Mac platform until the real reason for this oddity is found.
