Does anyone know if the GS911 tool will work with a Mac computer or iPad?

I am pretty sure it doesn't work on a iPad. Not sure about the Mac, though. I think it does, but that is just from reading about it.
There is a google group:

GS-911 Field Diagnostic Tool for BMW motorcycles | Google Groups

that discusses the specifics of using a gs-911. There is also the website, which has FAQ and lots of other info about it:

iPad/iPhone: No
Mac Computer: yes but...

The application is a windows application. To run it on your Mac you'll need to set up a virtual machine and run a copy of windows in that virtual machine. If you already have fusion or parallels installed there's not much else to do. If not you can grab a copy of the free VirtualBox software and install a copy of Windows. The only hard part is getting the copy of windows at a reasonable price.

I have 2 or 3 licenses for windows XP from old laptops that were trashed long ago. That's good enough to run the 3 things on my Mac that need windows.

Those three things:
1) GS-911
2) De Lorme Topo 9 for my De Lorme GPS
3) BMW RepROM

On the web site they say it is not compatible (the Blue Tooth version) is not compatible with the I-PHone so I would assume it would not work with any apple products as their software is propriatary, and cannot run any windows mobile software!! Anyone interested in Buying and Iphone 4?????
