"Yeah. Good luck with that. Any guesses how long that lasts before Apple releases a patch to disable BlackBerry sync?"

--Really? Did you even visit Blackberry's page on this, much less, read it's contents??

@Andy I see your point about being able to store music pics and other items on a removeable card but in most case MobileMe works quite nicely. But I see where you’re coming from as Internet access, and the ability to download files to a device, isn’t always available or allowed. (AHEM~iPhone~AHEM) or not at least not until this supposed “iDisk” app arrives. But for the record Ive got mixed opinions on that small, but extreme, subject.

@Andy: AT&T really detracts from the iPhone experience, IMHO. Apple would do well to consider the negative effect AT&T is having, and will continue to have, on marketability of the iPhone.

If you have a proper corporate job (other than one at Apple), you likely still use Windows and most likely have a company-issued Blackberry. At the same time you probably prefer Mac for home use and so the ability to sync the two has been long overdue. I used to carry 2 devices but gave the iPhone to the wife since I prefer/need email over games and apps. Apple has done a lot to integrate with business people but not happening anytime soon and AT&T doesnt make it easy to have one plan and use 2 devices. Thanks RIM. Finally.

Lastly - this is really more for Media Manager. BES users dont need calendar or contacts sync and Google does a better job than iTunes anyway. This is nice to get my music and photos onto my removable SD card (something apple wont do).

Just like a lot of folks here, this came a bit too late. I was hoping for a Mac version of BB Desk Manager…3 years ago…as of this month, I have completely switched over to my iPhone. Sorry, RIM.

This is nice news, but it’s too late for me, I have ditched my BB for an iPhone. Although, this does give me something new to consider when I upgrade. Yesterday I knew I would upgrade to a 3GS but now maybe I might have to look at the onyx as well.
