They do work with Macs. I have a 305 and a Mac. You just need to download a plug-in from the Garmin website. As for the differences between the 205 and 305, the only one is that the 305 has a heart rate strap and the 205 doesn't.

On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

What benefits do I get from heart rate training? I think it would be cool to know my heart rate stuff, but to be honest, those little straps I see people wearing look as though they'd be uncomfortable. What's a footpod? I'm a total noob to Garmin. But dang, 165 isn't a bad deal at all.
Is the little heart rate thingy a ma bobby uncomfortable to wear around your chest?

I've used the strap 3 times in the 3 months I've had the thing. Which served mostly to confirm that I don't need an HRM. Except for those cool graphs.

It's official: I'm confused. Do I want to spend 40 bucks to get the HRM? Stay tuned.
