BlackBerry Desktop Software to arrive for Mac in September

It may be later than predicted, but at least it’s official: BlackBerry maker RIM has announced that a Mac client for its BlackBerry Desktop Software will be arriving in September. The software will be available for Mac OS X 10.5.5 and above and several screenshots have been posted to the Inside BlackBerry blog.

BlackBerry Desktop will be able to sync iTunes playlists (assuming they contain non-DRMed songs, of course), calendar info from iCal, contacts, notes, and tasks. It will also allow users to add and remove applications from their devices, perform updates to BlackBerrys when they become available, back up and restore data, and even manage multiple devices. Basically, kind of like what iTunes does for the iPhone, except for the BlackBerry.
