Research In Motion (RIM) and Information Appliance Associates (IAA) today announced a licensing agreement whereby RIM will offer PocketMac for BlackBerry to Mac users, free of charge. PocketMac for BlackBerry is a desktop application that enables Mac users to synchronize data between their BlackBerry devices and Macintosh applications including core Mac OS X 10.4 applications and Microsoft Entourage. “PocketMac for BlackBerry is easy to install and allows users to synchronize email, contacts, calendar, tasks and notes with popular Mac applications,” said Terence Goggin, CTO of Information Appliance Associates. “We are pleased to work with RIM to provide this robust solution to Apple’s mobile customers.” This easy-to-access solution for Mac synchronization is expected to be available as a free download from BlackBerry beginning in February.
