Mac Users Will Soon Enjoy BlackBerry Desktop Software

Research In Motion has finally decided to bring some joy into the lives of Mac users out there, and, as such, it has announced that the BlackBerry Desktop Software is heading towards them. According to the company, the new software solution will become available in September, and there are a lot of features that users will enjoy.

Some of the key features that the initial release of BlackBerry Desktop Software will come with include:

Sync your iTunes playlists, calendars, contacts, notes and tasks
Add/Remove applications
Update your device when new software becomes available
Back up and restore your device data with such features like automatically scheduled backups and optional encryption
Manage multiple devices

At the same time, the mobile phone maker has also announced that the software solution will come with support for Mac OS X 10.5.5 and above. As the upcoming BlackBerry Desktop Software enables users to manage different aspects of their BlackBerry smartphone directly from their Mac, the application will probably prove very useful to a lot of people who are both on the BlackBerry wagon and in the Mac boat.

Those who would like to stay updated with the release schedule for the BlackBerry Desktop Software for Mac can register with www.blackberry.com/mac to receive updates and to be notified when the application will become available for download. Until that happens, you should take a look at the screenshots below to make an idea of what the software solution will look like.

What remains to be seen is whether the release time frame will actually be the intended one, so that those already waiting for this kind of support from RIM to arrive won't have to wait even longer. The company already started to move towards Mac users with previously released applications (such as the preview version of BlackBerry Media Sync for Mac), and it seems that things are about to get even better, so stay tuned to learn more on this.
