Get your iTunes on: BlackBerry Media Sync now available

by Chris Ziegler, posted Jul 24th 2008 at 9:29AM

The thoroughly-discussed, briefly-available conduit betwixt the realms of RIM and Apple, BlackBerry Media Sync, is now available in a totally official capacity for your downloading pleasure. Owners of Pearls, Curves, and 8800s (and pretty much everything that's released out of Waterloo from here on out, we'd imagine, starting with the Bold) can now snag music and playlists right off iTunes, though DRM'd tracks are naturally off limits. Then again, aren't BlackBerry owners too busy having power lunches, signing contracts, picking out new suits, and generally being important to enjoy trivialities like music on the road?

So, this is only compatible with a Windows computer? How silly to make iTunes sync avaible, but not for an actual MAC book user.

How silly to think a mac user will be using a Blackberry.

It's not like RIM doesn't like screwing Mac users over.

Take a look at our version of 'Desktop Manager' the PocketExpress or whatever the hell its called.

It's horrible. I can't get it to remove anything from my phone. Damn RIMmers!

Highly Ranked

I downloaded this a few weeks back, right before it was pulled off the net. It did what it said it would do and thats about it. Not sure why one would need this though, I have been dragging and dropping tracks onto my BB Pearl on my Windows machine without any problems for awhile now. I naively thought that I would be able to play Apples DRM tracks, what the hell was I thinking?
