Apple

An easy way to sync files on your Mac and your BlackBerry

Yes, I got a BlackBerry 8310 Curve and I use a Apple MacBook Pro as my main machine. In the past this combo was not always the best since Mac users were somehow left in the woods with their needs. Actually, I always wondered if software companies did not know about the shiny Apple or simply just ignored it.

Anyhow, with the Curve I have seen that RIM has indeed an Apple application called PocketMac on the CD included which allows for synching and certain settings. Since we use a Exchange Server this was of no use to us, but it is good to know that manufacturers like RIM think about their Apple customers. But still, even with that application installed, I was not able to access my files on the Curve (and I don't mean sync).

But the other day, I plugged the cable into my Mac and the Curve and the Curve asked me to "enable Mass storage…". This I usually answered with "No", but this time I hit "Yes". To my amazement I saw that the Curve was mounted on the desktop and I could access all my files like video, ringtones, images, etc. trough the Finder.

So, here you go, Access your BlackBerry on your Mac. Simple, easy and fast.
