BlackBerry Desktop Manager for Mac Users available October 2nd

After several teases you can consider this official now! RIM has sent out a press release that BlackBerry Desktop Manager for Mac will be available Friday, October 2nd at 1pm EST from this link: www.blackberry.com/mac. We’ve mentioned some features but it’s always good to hear it straight from a proud Canadian company:

“The new BlackBerry Desktop Manager software allows Mac users to smoothly and seamlessly sync data from Mac applications like iCal, Address Book, Microsoft Entourage and others, as well as add and remove applications, schedule automatic backups, encrypt backup files and install software updates for their BlackBerry smartphone.

BlackBerry Desktop Manager Software also integrates BlackBerry Media Sync, enabling Mac users to sync their iTunes music collections with their BlackBerry smartphone*. From within the BlackBerry Desktop Manager software, users simply select the desired iTunes playlists and the music, including song information and album art, is quickly transferred onto their BlackBerry smartphone.

BlackBerry Desktop Manager software is designed to run on Mac computers with Mac OS 10.5.5 and higher and supports BlackBerry smartphones running BlackBerry OS 4.2 and higher.”
