BlackBerry Desktop Manager for Mac has been waiting on some BlackBerry PlayBook funcitonality for a while now, so we were glad to see the latest beta release show up in the BlackBerry Beta Zone. The new version is at 2.1.0 (build 19) and includes some support for the BlackBerry PlayBook (yes only some). When connecting the PlayBook you now have options for both importing and syncing media from your Mac. This includes music, movies and photos but that's it. Sadly no sign of backup/restore or any other new features, but I suppose it's a step in the right direction. We're not sure if this is a wide rollout or only certain users are seeing it, so if you're a Beta Zone member login and let us know if it's popping up for you. Also no word on an official public release but we'll keep you posted. Thanks James!
