BlackBerry Desktop Manager 6.0 Pics Show Up Online

BlackBerry Desktop Manager 6.0 Pics Show Up Online

Ok, so maybe it's not pics. Rather, just a screenshot of things to come for BlackBerry Desktop Manager. Earlier today we mentioned that latest that Research In Motion was pushing now is version 5.0.1.37 but, shortly after that the folks over at BBnews.pl revealed the above snapshot of version 6.0.I'm liking the UI changes here. Also digging the fact it looks like RIM has placed a little more concentration on media handling.

Interesting note, see how it says podcasts on the side bar? For the longest time now the BlackBerry OS has had a default folder named "Podcasts" built into it. I always wondered what it was for considering you essentially have no way to download podcasts on your BlackBerry without a third party app like PodTrapper or using Opera Mini to bypass the download limit. Maybe a new OS combined with Desktop Manager 6.0 will change that. Pipe dreams?

Looks awesome ! And Bla1ze we will have to wait to see, what will happen with the podcast, I personally think, that it means, that we will be able to download podcast through our native Browser, that would be cool....

 
 
Posted by Bla1ze Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 788 days ago

That's what I'm hoping for.

Offtopic, hey Bla1ze did u managed to join the new BBM beta test @ BeBeta Zone ? And I saw they opened a beta test for 8520 and 8530 are u joining that 1 ?

 
 
Posted by Bla1ze Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 788 days ago

Yeah, I signed up for all the available beta tests they offered through Beta Zone. Quite interesting to see RIM taking such an initiative. Just hope they really make use of the informationa nd feedback users will be providing.

 
 
Posted by aris20 Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 788 days ago

Uhm I think they will use our feedbacks, because they tell u like a tons of times to please leave feedback, and if they didn't, the whole site would be pointless, hey Bla1ze is there any chance u could give me ur BB pin ? Or u can add me mine is 21BDC7C9 Just to discuss some things about Beta Zone, since there's no place for that in here !

Whaaa? I've always been able to download their podcasts via native browser.

 
 
Posted by aris20 Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 788 days ago

Really ? Who's podcast, beacause I tried downloading CB podcast trhu native browser and I never been able to !, isn't it cuz the size limit

 
 
Posted by muneton17 Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 788 days ago

I can't remember which exact ones they were but I remember one where one cursed. Haha.

I downloaded CB's podcast #46 thru the native browser. Just clicked the download direct link and it worked.

When I tried to download #48 it didn't work.

We asked for a mac version for windows, here you go.

 
 
Posted by justin.lafleur Friday, Mar 26, 2010 788 days ago

Indeed, it looks like a mac version!

 
 
Posted by polishbolduser Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 788 days ago

GO POLAND haha but I hope it doesnt turn into DM for mac you cant install leaks :/

 
 
Posted by qrescue Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 788 days ago

I like it alot!!

 
 
Posted by freddymartinez9 Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 788 days ago

- Bla1ze, learn to spell!!!
- LOOKS PHOTOSHOPPED

with that out of the way, let me just say, I think it looks a lot better than it does now. I can't wait.

 
 
Posted by Bla1ze Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 788 days ago

One letter missing from one word, an additional letter added to another. I'm doing better today then most, lol. Get off my back :P

 
 
Posted by green_ember Friday, Mar 26, 2010 788 days ago

That would be "better today THAN most." Just kidding, I don't care. Keep up the info accuracy, screw the grammar! Thanks for the article :-)

 
 
Posted by robarias Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 788 days ago

Looks similar to the Mac version

 
 
Posted by JazzL5 Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 788 days ago

I want DM 6.0 now!! If that's what the main screen will look like, cool. Hope it adds new features as well.

 
 
Posted by ashantiblack Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 788 days ago

NICEEEEE ☺

 
 
Posted by xeju Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 788 days ago

The UI looks good. I'm wondering what the fingerprint looking thing is at the top next to the word 'BlackBerry'. Or is it just there to obscure something?

 
 
Posted by Bla1ze Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 788 days ago

Hiding the device owners PIN likely.

 
 
Posted by xeju Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 788 days ago

The PIN is there a little lower near the phone number. It could be the barcode, but the 2d barcodes are squares and the fingerprint is a rectangle. But whatever, we'll know when we see the real thing.

 
 
Posted by andredesignz Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 788 days ago

Love the new look

 
 
Posted by Dannyd534 Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 788 days ago

looks exactly like the mac BB Desktop Manager....nothing special

 
 
Posted by CheekySheDevil Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 788 days ago

I hope this is something that is REALLY in the works. I'd hate to be faked out by Poland...

 
 
Posted by SlipperyNutt Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 788 days ago

I think the fingerprint thing you are talking about might be where your barcode is being placed. Just my opinion.

 
 
Posted by jorGeorge Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 788 days ago

Ehh, a little too simplistic for me. Where are all the advanced goodies?

 
 
Posted by MOESTEPP Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 788 days ago

Looks alot I mean alot like my Blackberry Desktop for MAC?

 
 
Posted by kram941 Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 788 days ago

heh. Reminds me of Mac's OS kinda. Definitely more towards their style/look.

 
 
Posted by dgbb8900 Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 788 days ago

I hope BBDM 6.0 works with Win 7 64-bit also like to add capture screen.

 
 
Posted by camel_456 Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 788 days ago

I'm not having any problems with the current version of DM on Win 7 64Bit...

 
 
Posted by rorosz Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 788 days ago

Looks good though. Hopefully it will have more functonality

 
 
Posted by zarzamora_hermosa Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 788 days ago

So it looks like iTunes... that's what's to come... fine by me I suppose :)

 
 
Posted by frcollier Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 788 days ago

It'll be nice to see something fresh. I also noticed that there seems to be a way to check file free on an SD card. Dont know if there is on the current version, only use it to sync with Outlook.

 
 
Posted by xeju Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 788 days ago

Where's the BBM interface?

That's what I'd like to see integrated into DM - a PC interface to BBM. I think RIM would (should) only have a pc client for BBM if the device is connected, so the DM would be a great place for it.

(I know, that's probably a pipe dream.)

 
 
Posted by caltrmptguy86 Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 788 days ago

I'm liking this new look. It's about time they offer some better looking interfaces. I do agree with the above post too. A stand alone PC app for BBM. :D

 
 
Posted by clexman Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 788 days ago

Hopefully when you click backup, it actually backs up everything. Having to use a round about way to backup your apps is a pain.

 
 
Posted by CeluGeek Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 788 days ago

... over a DM version that stops nagging me with bogus software updates just because I delete that worthless John Meyer video and uninstalled the built-in Docs to Go app to install the full version.

When DM can finally propose software updates that are really software updates, not just reinstalls of what I have intentionally uninstalled, then we are talking.

 
 
Posted by tcseacliff Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 788 days ago

At this stage in time, I don't think there is another direction for the DM but up. jeez Louise! the DM is like plugging your BB into a Fred Flintstone app. sounds like they are finally on the right track to properly handle the BB business coming their way. time will tell.

 
 
Posted by JerseyDriver Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 788 days ago

So there have been countless updates to the PC version, we going to see one anytime soon?

 
 
Posted by fedge Friday, Mar 26, 2010 788 days ago

looks beautiful i'd love to check that out. i signed up for RIM's beta program.. maybe i'll get a crack at that in there!

 
 
Posted by robotaholic Friday, Mar 26, 2010 788 days ago

I want that wallpaper of the kayak on the waterfall - looks coo

 
 
Posted by cribble2k Friday, Mar 26, 2010 788 days ago

I just hope RIM does not implement media management in the same way Apple does with iTunes and the iPhone. That was one of the deal breakers for me not going with iPhone, because I hate iTunes. I just want to be able to drag and drop files on to the media card as we can now.

 
 
Posted by Ibn la Ahad Friday, Mar 26, 2010 788 days ago

Come on, RIM. Make a proper version of DM for Mac users to upgrade properly

 
 
Posted by havok1071 Friday, Mar 26, 2010 788 days ago

Looks like its for Mac users....itunes has podcasts

 
 
Posted by vsuga Friday, Mar 26, 2010 788 days ago

Wow that was quick. Looks much better.

 
 
Posted by MDGirl1984 Friday, Mar 26, 2010 788 days ago

I like, I like

 
 
Posted by Crackberry_Canadian Friday, Mar 26, 2010 788 days ago

Better be able to sync to office 2010 64 bit

 
 
Posted by glinc Friday, Mar 26, 2010 788 days ago

Looks like a copycat of itunes

 
 
Posted by Pathtek4 Friday, Mar 26, 2010 788 days ago

Badass

 
 
Posted by Dragondima Friday, Mar 26, 2010 788 days ago

I don't mean to restate anything, but I think it looks similar to doubleTwist. Great design, and I hope it's successful. Good luck RIM!

 
 
Posted by laollis Friday, Mar 26, 2010 788 days ago

WHEN?

 
 
Posted by dsiduousaardvrk Friday, Mar 26, 2010 788 days ago

I like how it looks just like the DM for Mac! Woohoo! Mac > PC!!
