RIM Giveth Desktop Manager For Mac, Then Taketh Away!

on 9 Sep 2009 01:09 PM

* Update from Kevin: It was a boo-boo on somebody at RIM's part. Desktop Manager for Mac will not be launching today. However, we will bring you a little something special shortly though to get your Mac Desktop Manager fix for the day. *

We all got a glimpse of BlackBerry Desktop Manager by now, be it through the leaked versions that popped up online or through the reviews and walk throughs. It seems RIM may be getting prepared to finally launch the application in it's official capacity or someone just made a really BIG boo-boo.

Earlier today, as you can see from the Twitter status photo someone within RIM Tweeted the availablity of Desktop Manager For Mac and posted a link to the RIM FaceBook pages, all of which was removed in a hot second before anyone could even fully see what actually got posted. So was this all a mistake or shall we be expecting a Desktop Manager for Mac launch soon?

Is it really that surprising that RIM screwed up? Someone probably posted that from their Storm and hit enter accidentally.

Was it a mistake or a continued ploy to build the hype? Either way it doesn't make any sense to prolong the AGONY!

And I'd just thrown my Dell on the floor and run out to get the sledgehammer in the garage. Damn you RIM!

I was on twitter when I saw it. Dropped a tweet to Kevin and @crackberry, and boom. Just like that, it was gone. The link didn't even work. Man, foul move BlackBerry. :) Maybe they'll release it and U2 mobile album at 9pm tonight, on 9-9-09. :O
