It may be later than predicted, but at least it's official: BlackBerry maker RIM has announced that a Mac client for its BlackBerry Desktop Software will be arriving in September. The software will be available for Mac OS X 10.5.5 and above and several screenshots have been posted to the Inside BlackBerry blog.
BlackBerry Desktop will be able to sync iTunes playlists (assuming they contain non-DRMed songs, of course), calendar info from iCal, contacts, notes, and tasks. It will also allow users to add and remove applications from their devices, perform updates to BlackBerrys when they become available, back up and restore data, and even manage multiple devices. Basically, kind of like what iTunes does for the iPhone, except for the BlackBerry.
Prior to this application, Mac BlackBerry owners had to rely on third-party software such as Mark/Space's The Missing Sync for BlackBerry, or PocketMac for BlackBerry, which RIM had included along. Where can I download Blackberry software for Mac OS 10.5.8. Where can I find a download the Blackberry software for Mac OS 10.5.8? Also what is the higest possible software upgrade for a Blackberry Curve 8530? I recently got this old phone back and I'm trying to see what I should do with it and if its worth keeping.
In fact, if you pursue some of the screenshots available, it is very much like iTunes' software for managing the iPhone. You can select individual calendars to sync, choose your playlists (and even add random music to your leftover space), and see how much storage you have left on the device. We know that most of the readers here at Infinite Loop are iPhone fans, but for those users who are tied to a BlackBerry either because of work or because of some strange, RDF-defying personal preference, this could definitely make it whole hell of a lot easier to use with a Mac.

It was September of 2008 when rumors first circulated that RIM was preparing a Mac client for its BlackBerry software, though the unnamed source at that time claimed it would be available in the first half of 2009. That wasn't an official announcement, though, so we'll forgive RIM for not meeting the deadline imposed by an anonymous leak.
