Blackberry owners who have so far been living with PocketMac to sync their calendar, contacts and other data on their device with Mac are in for a treat as Blackberry has officially announced that it will be releasing the Blackberry Desktop Software this September which will enable the Blackberry owners to sync data on the fly.
Blackberry Desktop Software does the same for Blackberry that iTunes does for iPhone. 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.
- Manage multiple devices
It will support Mac OS 10.5.5 and above and shall be available for download in September, checkout the Blackberry for Mac page for updates.
Perhaps its time that Nokia should take a cue from this and release a Nokia Mac Suite, at least for the N-series phones.
