RIM intends to announce Mac-Blackberry Support

If you just can’t deal with Windows as an OS, but won’t delve as far into Apple products as an iPhone, this is for you.

If rumors are correct, no longer do Mac-using fans of RIM and their Blackberry have to resort to a third-party app for their synching needs. This news comes after an anonymous source from within RIM said the company is working on porting their Blackberry Desktop Manager to the Mac operating system. This is a good thing for those users, as the only solution that RIM directly suggested was to use the Windows version using a virtual system, which can be a bit of a pain. Not only did the source note that the program would probably ship in early 2009, but he/she alluded to the fact that the company has been working the program since 2004.
