Looking for the file associated with a photo in iPhoto? In iPhoto, to view a photo's file in the Finder, Control-click it and choose Show File from the contextual menu that appears. You can then drag the file's icon into an Open dialog to upload it to a photo-sharing service, for instance, but whatever you do, don't move or rename that file!

Comments about The Missing Sync for Android 1.3

Mostly half-truths from a software developer quite economical with unpleasant truths.
WiFi sync works ONLY with Android 2.0 or higher (more than 70% of the Android smartphones run 1.5 or 1.6) and text messages [called in Europe SMS] archiving does not seem to work under Snow Leopard.
Not recommended. Waste of money.
