BlackBerry Desktop Manager finally coming to Mac

Author: Jeff

20 Jul

BlackBerrys and Macs haven’t played so well together in the past. However, that is all about to change with RIM recently announcing that their BlackBerry Desktop Manager software will officially be ported to OS X this coming september.

Below is a list of features in the upcoming software:

Sync your iTunes playlists, calendars, contacts, notes and tasks
Add/Remove applications
Update your device when new software becomes available
Backup and restore your device data with such features like automatically scheduled backups and optional encryption
Manage multiple devices

iTunes, syncing, huh? We’ve all come to know how Apple reacts when other handset manufacturers use their software. It seems like it will be only a matter of time before Apple will shut out BlackBerrys just like they did with the Palm Pre.
