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.

Privus continues its expansion as far as making its Caller ID software compatible with most mobile devices as it announces the compatibility of their service to telecom giant Nokia. Earlier this month, Privus Mobile had announced the same software for the Android phone.

Bringing the similar intent it had in providing Caller ID options for mobile devices, Nokia mobile phone owners will now be able to screen and have the option on whether to accept or reject incoming calls. Apparently this is a form of protection for mobile owners, avoiding the unnecessary calls that may be worthless or perhaps be unknown to them.

“With Privus Mobile, Nokia smartphone customers and those using Symbian OS devices now have the power to know who’s calling without having to answer the phone, check voicemail or call the person back. The average cell phone user is deprived of unknown caller’s names. It’s time they knew who’s on the other end of the line. It’s time they knew Privus Mobile.”
