BlackBerry Desktop Software: Coming Soon to a Mac Near You!

Many of you commented on my “Updating Your BlackBerry Device Software” post back in April saying "…this is great! But what about Mac?” I could not respond to those comments at the time, but I’m happy to say there’s some exciting news we can share with you. We have all been hard at work here for a while now, and you may have noticed some Mac support with the preview version of BlackBerry® Media Sync for Mac released back in December. Read on to get the first inside scoop on BlackBerry® Desktop Software that will be coming to Mac in September, and get a first glimpse at a few product screenshots.


Here are some key features the initial release will include:


•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 (security is #1 as always… )

•Manage multiple devices

And it will support Mac® OS 10.5.5 and above.

Make sure to check out www.blackberry.com/mac and sign up to get notified when the software is available, and stay tuned for more posts from me here on Inside BlackBerry as we get closer to the release date.

As promised, here are some screenshots (click to enlarge) – let me know what you think!
