For years, Windows users have enjoyed the seamless Synchronization of their contacts, calendar, notes and tasks with their PC via the BlackBerry® Desktop Manager Software. Now, for the first time, this “piece of mind” that comes with knowing your data is fully “backed up” is available to the Mac® user.
If you are a Windows user, this will seem familiar, yet very much streamlined for the Mac. If you have never used BlackBerry Desktop Manager, you will now be able to not only synchronize your data, but you will be able to backup, restore, Sync your iTunes® playlists and more.

What is a Hybrid OS?
The BlackBerry Operating System, like what Windows XP is for a PC, is made up of many files. As the OS changes (ie.. from .65 to .75 to .148 and every leak in between) these files change. Sometimes a newer OS release has a quirk that a previous OS didn’t have. Maybe one OS has a problem with with its MMS file. And maybe another has a camera issue. Maybe one has a super radio file.

This makes using the BlackBerry Desktop Manager to reload your OS impossible as the device is only detected for a couple of seconds before the device shuts off (and is now undetected). Read more…
