RIM (Research in Motion), the makers of the Blackberry phones, has just officially announced software support for Blackberry for Mac. This simply means that with the new Blackberry Desktop Syncing Software, you will be able to backup/restore your Blackberry from your Mac, as well as sync music from iTunes playlists, etc. Brings a very iPhone-like experience to Blackberry users, finally.

I don’t have a Blackberry to test this out with, but I have a few friends who do. I’ll post their experiences with the software once they get a chance to take a test drive.

Note that the software requires 10.5.5 or later (including 10.6 Snow Leopard) and will supposedly sync contacts, calendars, appointments, and notes from several Mac programs (although I couldn’t find that program list listed on the site).
