January 16, 2006: Blackberry handheld maker Research in Motion (RIM) has announced at Macworld 2006 that it and Information Appliance Associates (IAA) will soon be offering PocketMac for Blackberry.
PocketMac allows data to be synchronised between the popular handheld and Mac’s OS X 10.4 “Tiger” software, as well as other applications such as Microsoft Entourage. RIM has licensed the complete version of PocketMac for BlackBerry from IAA, which supports OS X’s address book and iCal and Entourage’s email, contacts, calendar, tasks and notes.
“The worldwide popularity of Mac OS X is driving the creation of many exciting new products and significant growth in the Apple development community,” says Ron Okamoto, Apple’s vice president of worldwide developer relations. “We're thrilled that IAA and RIM have collaborated to better support mobile Mac users with easy-to-use BlackBerry synchronisation."
PocketMac will be available for free download off RIM’s Blackberry website from February 2006.
