RIM prepping BlackBerry Media Sync for iTunes transfers

by Darren Murph, posted May 15th 2008 at 9:48AM

Everyone knows that nobody buys a BlackBerry for its musical prowess, right? Au contraire, dearest email addict. RIM is currently working up a new application for BlackBerry smartphones that will "transfer your desktop iTunes music files" to your BB for those rare moments when you can actually kick back and enjoy the soothing sounds of Rogue Wave. Interestingly, we're not told whether BlackBerry Media Sync is being crafted specifically for the upcoming Bold, and we're also left to wonder when it'll actually be released. Patience is a virtue -- at least that's the word heard through the grapevine.

I wonder if the sync will work on Macs #1 and then #2 if it will support the sync'ing of playlists/podcasts...

Very nice.
Hopefully someone can create a similar Winamp Media Library plugin for the BlackBerry Media Sync, too.
