The official RIM blog site Inside BlackBerry has announced that BlackBerry Desktop Manager is currently in the works for Mac computers and will be available soon!

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 (security is #1 as always…)
• Manage multiple devices

This version of the BlackBerry Desktop Manager will support Mac OS 10.5.5 and above.

This is great! Over the weekend I’ve had to tell a bunch of people that they couldn’t upgrade their OS with a Mac and it looks like that will no longer be the case.
