Getting media onto the G1 on the Mac is pretty easy: just plug in the included USB cable to the G1's data port and your Mac, and the phone will show up on your desktop as a removable volume, like any other flash storage device. You can drag and drop files on and off of it to transfer data, but there's no desktop client app for syncing data, so you'll have to manage it manually.

The music player application is a bit on the spartan side, but it supports many common formats including MP3, AAC, WAV, OGG Vorbis, and some Windows Media files. If you don't plug in headphones, music will play through the G1's speaker, located on the back, next to the camera.

You can also buy music directly from the phone via the Amazon MP3 store, which offers quick access to the top 100 albums and songs. And since Amazon sells its wares in DRM-free MP3 format, it's easy to transfer the music from your phone back to your computer or iTunes library.

As for video, the G1 has no video player installed by default (not counting the YouTube application), so you'll need to visit the Android Market in order to download one that allows you to play videos back from the memory card.
