I just found out in OS X (I am using 10.1.5) that when you go to Show Info on an item, you can use Command-[ and Command-] to cycle through the different info views. Use this instead of the pop-up menu if you, like me, use the keyboard a lot.
[Editor's note: Due to the changes in the Get Info windows, this trick does not work in 10.2.]
