Open up Terminal.app. Find the "adb" file and drag it into the Terminal.app window, it should produce something like:

"/Applications/android-sdk-mac_x86-1.5_r1/tools/adb"

After "adb", type a space, then "shell". You should now have a shell on your phone -- the prompt will change to simply "$" if you do.

Example:
Code:
howie @ macpro:[~]
10:28:11 (120) /Applications/java/android-sdk-mac_x86-1.5_r1/tools/adb shell
$
Thanks for this but I found out why I'm stuck. My terminal won't work it just shows me

login: illegal option -- -
usage: login [-pq] [-h hostname] [username]
login -f [-lpq] [-h hostname] [username [prog [arg ...]]]

[Process completed]

I gotta figure this out before I can do anything else. :/
