BlackBerry Desktop for Mac now available with iTunes sync capability
Last week we heard the news that BlackBerry Desktop for Mac was coming soon and then a few days later RIM download this new Mac client. BlackBerry Desktop for Mac supports syncing contacts, calendar, tasks, and notes with your BlackBerry running OS 4.2 or later. The Mac applications it works with include iCal, Address Book, Microsoft Entourage and others.
In addition to syncing with your Mac you can also add and remove programs, schedule automatic backups, encrypt backup files and install firmware updates to your BlackBerry device. BlackBerry Media Sync is also included so you can sync iTunes to your BlackBerry (Palm should develop software like this for the Pre). Album art is also supported with Media Sync. This is great news for BlackBerry owners who have a Mac and I hope to try it with a trial BlackBerry soon.
