So nice to be able to AirDrop files from my Mac to iPad.

@mjtsai I don’t really understand why it takes specific hardware to do AirDrop. If the device runs iOS 7 or Mavericks, it should work.

@mjtsai@leebennett It does need BTLE, which doesn't make any sense to me. It shouldn't need to require that. Fallbacks should be available. -
@rosyna,@mjtsai,@leebennett — AirDrop uses peer-to-peer Wi-Fi, not Bluetooth:http://www.macworld.com/article/1161706/how_airdrop_makes_file_sharing_simple.html … -
@simx@mjtsai@leebennett but interoperability between Macs and iOS devices seems to require the Mac have BTLE. -
@rosyna,@mjtsai,@leebennett — Really? Bizarre. Is there any documentation on this? -
@simx@mjtsai@leebennett http://www.gottabemobile.com/2014/10/17/best-os-x-yosemite-features-skip-many-old-macs/ … Apple hasn't updated their support site for Yosemite yet, it seems.

@mjtsai@leebennett it’s dependent on the wifi card. -
@tbridge Same reason the ios app won’t configure my very old airport express any more?

@mjtsai And I’m going to lobby for upgrading the Westmere at work to a retina iMac. -
@mjtsai That’s what I’ve pretty much understood. *sigh* Well, Transmit connecting to SMB sharing is next best thing.
