FINALLY!!!!

i'm sooo excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent! Finally RIM is coming to terms with reality!

Awesome!!! Mac folks now get the love too!

add the ability to share articles on Twitter!!! please

and totally stoked bout DM coming to Mac, i will officially have NO need to run windows anymore

Yay! I won't have to go into XP on VMware Fusion to update or backup my BlackBerry! :-D

That can not be true... :-) What have they been smoking? But nice that it finally is coming for mac... NICE!!!! :-D

i have been waiting for this for a VERY VERY long time.

OMG!!!!!!! I can't believe it's finally happening! I've been so frustrated with Pocket Mac and Missing Sync!!! THANK YOU, RIM!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wooohooo!

Just another sign that the onyx will be my first Blackberry.

It's about da*n time the Mac users get some lovin from RIM! :D

Finally Mac fans can get some love from RIM.

WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

We just need a mac simulator and SDK now

I hope this isn't on of those cruel jokes you guys play sometimes.

It's about time the pocket mac is usless and a piece of crap thank you rim it only took u since the begining of time to come up with this one....now lets see how good it is

Hm, seems like I'm about to save some 4GB on my Mac's disk :)

This is simply too good to be true :-)

Excuse me while I shed a few tears. This is such a happy day. It is like finding out you are pregnant! Can't wait until the due date of September gets here.

Recently got a Macbook pro and hated pocketsync. Good job RIM.

Woohoo! Finally I can get rid of Missing Contacts.

Extremely convenient considering I just bought a Macbook yesterday lol...

IT'S ABOUT TIME! I was seriously considering buying Windows and installing it on my Mac.

this made my week. i found out about this while i was simultaneously looking on ebay for a cheap version of xp. not needed anymore!!!

It's about time. This is one of like three programs I have to continue to use on Windows right now.

Will definitely help in moving to a Mac only home.

Awesome. I hope this will allow us to flash the devices as well. Maybe we will see a proper OS X SDK for BB in the near future? Would definitely catch the interest of those who are already developing for the iPhone.

No more running to my office where I keep my PC. My Mac at home has all my music on iTunes and all my pics on iPhoto. My PC at the office now exists for the sole purpose of sync'ing/updating my BB. Time to kiss that PC goodbye, esp. since my practice management software is now Mac based.

yesssssssssssssssssssss cannot wait for this! finally!

This is great news, but I wonder how Mac users will be able to update to leaked operating systems since the files are in .exe format. I wonder if RIM will release two different formats or just use the .exe until it is ready for an official release.

dont get me wrong I think its great but - what changed ? lol

Wouldn't that make you some kind of freakish outcast? Would you be shunned by Mac users for not buying an iPhone?

HALLELUJAH!! I mean about FREEKIN time RIM. Of course as with everything, I will not believe it until I see it.

Let the leak's begin and the lost data cease.

pocketmac and missing sync suck. I pray thee gets it right!!

I gave up pcs 2 years ago and loveth my mac. Hate losing date while syncing.

The world is watching.

But seriously, The folks I spoke to at RIM said there would be NO WORD until they had a beta ready. LEAK LEAK LEAK

FINALLY!!! thanks RIM!!

I use desktop manager at work (small business on BIS not BES) on a PC. At home, I have Macs....is it wise to use my phone with two DMs? Especially on these different platforms?
I'm excited to have this support for my Macs but don't want to cause any problems. Thanks, feel free to BBM me at: 31e686d7

Does this mean I can play my PURCHASED music from iTunes on my BB now?

1

My prayers have been answered.

Yee haw! That made my day!

'bout time us Mac-folk were shown some serious lovin'!

Now that BB is supporting Mac, will itunes support BB's?

this made my whole day better! :)

la verdad me alegro mucho de saber esta gran noticia, ya era hora que bien por la gente de rim, me volvía loco con cada actualización ya que no la podía hacer con mi mac

i think i'm going to cry because i'm so happy

what is worst in my book is that it looks far, far more polished than they PC version. I have been waiting for something like this to happen to the old school-looking PC version for years....

Cannot wait for this!

This is beautiful. Will it support leaked OS's since those are .exe files?

Man, can't wait for the release, finally RIM payed attention to us OSX users.

Can't wait...about damn time!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now will this finally allow me to put DRM protected songs on my blackberry?

My God! it's about freakin time this happens. I am so sick of finding work arounds for my Mac.

Thank you RIM.

i can't believe this! i just saw this and am so excited!!

It's about time!

I'll believe it when I see it.

WOW I can't believe it took this long. Hope it's 100% same as PC though.

It's about time. Now this I'm really excited about.

So, basically what I reported weeks ago...awesome

Late to the party, RIM. But none the less, YES!!!!! FINALLY!!!

I think hell will actually freeze over before a Linux version becomes availible

I think hell will actually freeze over before a Linux version becomes availible

Duh RIM, what took you so long?

This is great news!! I see they are still touting PocketMac and I have emailed PocketMac to tell them that the Tour is not supported at the moment and asked for an update. So far no response and this was 10 days ago

AWESOME!!!!!!!

This may just lead me to get the macbook I always wanted!

I wonder how long it will take to leak?

FINALLY YESSSSS!!!!!

This is AWESOME news. It's about damn time!

Granted, at the moment all OS' are .exe files, so we're going to need .dmg support, but I'm sure once this is out it will come. Made my day.

gimme

who cares!!!!!!

FINALLY, all these years us Mac users have been left behind by RIM :-(

Oh my GOD! The wait have finally come. the feeling is like opening a new MAC BOOK PRO case and find the golden army inside.......... This is the best news i have all day. way it go RIM. F#@K u iPhone.

All I can say is "Thank you RIM!". I've stuck with you for the past couple years using Mark Space and relying on an old windows-based laptop to keep my BlackBerry's rocking and rolling because I simply couldn't live without my BlackBerry! Getting the BB Desktop onto Mac is going to be a huge plus for RIM.

Kevin is all of this true excitement or sarcasm from your part? haha i REALLY can't tell?

Wow ! ! !

NO MORE WAITING TO USE A WINDOWS COMPUTER!!!!!!!!!!!

I am buying my first blackberry which will be the tour, and was struggling with what application I was going to use to sync my entourage contacts and calender up with. I was leaning toward The Missing Sync because what I read everywhere is that Pocket Mac sucks. I don't know if I can wait for the Sept release that would probably end up being late Sept. But I am excited to see it coming. If it works anything like the PC version it should be excellent.

Can't wait.

L.

zomg! my transition to mac will finally be complete and i will no longer ponder the iphone! woohoo!

This rocks this what I've been waiting for but I already downloading missing sync, I wish RIM would of announced this before I bought it lol oh well ill use it until the desktop manager come out!

Didnt know people actually used macs. Go figure

nobody cares. because macs are crap.

I have been waiting for the day... who would have thought it would have taken this long

Yes, Please. Send a copy my way. Thanks.

It's about time...I hope they release it soon so that I can no longer be tied to a PC...

So who is gonna post the leaked version?

And now the wait begins... Please, RIM, don't disappoint.

RIM I feel the love, App World will be up in Holland soon is the mail from RIM said today and now this news on top..

Yeeeeea bout time thanks RIM :D

so kevin when will we get a leak? we all know that RIM true beta testers are right here on CB so lets help RIM find bugs in this long awaited APP.

Thank you, RIM!
Me and my BB Tour are very happy.

Because everything's better on a mac. ;-)

Best news of the day other then if they came out with a new beta or even better official OS 5.0

Three words. Fi. Na. Lly.

My goodness I'm so pleased at long last I'll be able to use my Mac and my Bold! What took them so long to get their act together! But well done RIM in any case

Today is my bday and this just made my bday that much sweeter!!! ABOUT F*CKIN TIME!!!!!

HOLY CANOLI!!!! this news made my day...and also made me cry. :'-D

I cannot wait. This is perfect. I am a long time mac and bb user. On general principals i hate the iphone. however, I had a moment of weekness. I needed to see how the iphone worked since it was able to sync with my MAC. OMG I fracking HATED THE IPHONE. anyone who wants to argue this with me, bring it on. I gave it 72 hours, got adjusted to typing and everything and it BLOWS. DO NOT BUY AN IPHONE. That being said i went back to my glorious bold and decided i just wont be able to update my phone via mac.

LOW AND BEHOLD in the year 2009 PHISH returns to melt your face status and BB IS COMPATIBLE WITH A MAC.

The stars have aligned!!

Wow this is so awesome. Now I really don't have to use a PC.

YES! I have been waiting tooo long for this day to come. I even bought Parallels for the sole purpose of being able to update/sync my blackberry.

literally almost bought Fusion or Parallels this week. Thanks for the news.

Like another person said earlier... will believe it when I see it.

I really wouldn't shed a tear if no one made anything for a MAC again. Those are way over priced and have terrible OS's.

September!?! Oh well, we MAC users have waited this long, I guess we can wait another 2 months! I must say that I am in anticipation mode. Hope there won't be any serious glitches.

When can we MacBerry users catch a leak?

I heard there was a leaked beta at BlackberryOS.com some time ago, but I'll stay tuned to Crackberry for the OFFICIAL-UNofficial launch.

Very uninteresting announcement. Let the mac heads be with their iphony

About fuckin time! I will never understand developpers who don't develop for both platforms- Macs are standard now.

MAC's are Media Access Control addresses

Mac's are the beautiful machines we all love!

now there is nothing stopping me from getting my blackberry. between this and the new bbm/threaded texting, i'm in for sure

Wow im surprise its gonna be available for mac now oh well. Now lets all get along blackberrys and iphones.

Kevin is truly a font of knowledge, but let's not get too carried away here. As it has been written before, it's really about time that RIM decided to do something about the  issue.
Hopefully this version of DM will work, and allow us to do what PC's have been doing forever. For now, I'll continue to use Google sync and hope that this really will be what we've been NEEDING for years.

Thank you RIM!!!!!

Finally, the meeting of the best of technology.

Thank you for this great news! Now I probably won't be switching to iPhone...

Then again, never say never...

Thank God! Mondays suck but somehow this news made it so much better.

Excellent. It will make my life, and upgrades, a lot easier.

go to stormgrounds.com/apps and theres a free tip Calculator app

Hell yes.....Man o' man I can't wait.. cause pocket mac SuCkS ass...

A linux client would be nice.. I suppose this is a step in the right direction.

Cool so it was most likely all about getting everything worked out for the new OSX update that comes out lets see in September :)

I guess my Christmas is coming a few months early this year! Seriously, this was the ONLY negative thing I could say about my Mac... No more! WooHoo indeed...

finally rim has heard our cries and compliants. a job well done rim.
rim knows it also needs the mac based consumers as well in their profit growth.
no more go to a virtual pc. im happy.

FanFREAKINGtastic! About time! No more need to boot into Windoze makes me a VERY happy camper! w00t!

right in time for 5.0!!!

i wonder if this means 5.0 will be out by September.

i hope earlier, but it seems logical that they release their big new OS alongside mac compatibility right?

are we going to be able to sync via bluetooth? or will that be a later version? I can't wait!! either way! thanks!

i am pumped.

OMG!!!!1!!!!!!!!!!!111111!!!!! I'm soooo happy now.

OMG!!!!1!!!!!!!!!!!111111!!!!! I'm soooo happy now.

i just jizzed in my pants.

Funny that when I went to register for updates (from a Mac), the link was bad.

Finally!!!!!!

finally!!!!

Lets home the folks over at apple don't get mad. I still think the removal of itunes is stupid for Apple but oh well to each their own..... And before someone thinks im another Apple hater this is being written on my Mac Mini just throwing it out there

I have my doubts about being able to sync iTunes. Look what happened to the Palm Pre? I bet as soon as the iDM hits the masses, iTunes will come up with an update that will prevent this sync feature.

There is a god!

OMG, Finally!!! Bye bye Parallers :)

Yesssssssss!

I will now be able to get rid of my old PC .... Now that's what I call good news !

FINALLY!!!!! but what will happen with missing sync though, will i have to delete it or what?

Ugggggh finally, I have been waiting for this for a few months.. nice to see they aren't like windows.. and actually come through on their promises

Finally, now I can go and buy myself a MacBook!

I'm thrilled that RIM has finally realized that people need to sync the best of both worlds... Blackberries and Macs.

Seriously, were they waiting for an invitation?!?!?!?
Glad to see this will be available soon!!!!

Rim, much overdue, but much appreciated. If you wanted an iPhone killer, you should have done this a looooong time ago!! No matter now, just need to make sure that our bbs and macs can do the same as an iPhone and a mac, only BETTER!! BB FA LIFE!

RIM and Apple where made for each other. I dont see why this didn't happen earlier.
Both (lately) push out proprietary crap, and they both lock down there OS's tighter than a nuns knickers. Wonderful!!

Now, if there was a BlackBerry Desktop Manager for Linux, it would be a perfect world.......but I guess i'll keep dreaming............

Whats worse is that I finally gave up wanting to own blackberry until it fixed 2 key issues of mine. These are odd issues but....after giving me a touchscreen and better less cheap looking designs and always having blackberry messenger the only 2 things i wanted were as smoother user interface and complete functioning with my mac. I hated having to update on a friends pc. Now with this info and the 5.0 software looking to add at least a few new pizzaz points to the UI now im mad that im on useless att because I dont like the bulkiness of the bold (previous owner) and hate the no 3g of the cuve 8900 as well as the cheap buttons (previous owner) wheres my freaking tour at RIM? ATT ? that probably means im going to get a new device that has 3g , no wifi and no trackball. lol

i just checked my calendar and it's not April 1st -- Thank God!!

I have to say that I am VERY impressed with the number of Mac BB users on here. It is my own ignorance that I thought that most Mac users would also prefer the pretty iPhone.
CrackBurry, you have opened my eyes. I have always been a big PC guy (can't pull me away from my gaming), but it is still nice to have something in common with macHeads.

Amen!

I will believe it when I see it available for download either thru Crackberry or the Blackberry website. I hope to god it's better than the option I am currently using.

This will make my BB so much better!!!

thank you RIM for getting MAC up to date. I husband will be happy to get me off his computer when i want to backup/restore my BB.

i hate having to beg my bro to use his pc to update my blackberry... i love my MBP and was gona switch to iphone cuz storm is a pain to use... now im definately upgrading to the TOURRRRRRRRRR

to people posting hate comments about macs: GET A LIFE!

too little too late.. iPhone is crushing BB sales.

vapourware i say.

while they are at it, they might as well announce a stable OS. LOL

ya right SEPT.. 2013.

Judging by the pics posted, it looks like it has used the MAC UI. Why? It should look the same as DM 5 for Windows. RIM does not use the Windows UI scheme for DM 5. Both versions should looks and function identically or they should use there respective UIs.

Thank you RIM, FINALLY!!!

Down with Apple and down with its Mac.

"Sync your iTunes playlists, calendars, contacts, notes and tasks".
no love for our e-mails? There will be no way to sync with Apple Mail???

why does it look sooooo much nicer and easier than the PC version, why can't that be the ui for the pc aswell?

Bye Bye Partition... God I hope this isn't just another dangled carrot?!!

Yes, now I don't have to switch to windows everytime on my Mac to update and backup and sync. FINALLY
