PocketMac for BlackBerry 4.0

review

The Macintosh platform hasn't exactly achieved wide acceptance in the corporate world. Of course, Macs make great office machines, despite all the usual stereotypes about how they're ideal for individual and educational use. But though it's true that Macs have made significant gains in connectivity with enterprise systems over the years, including Windows 2003 networks and Exchange Servers, they don't work seamlessly with BlackBerry handhelds, at least not out of the box. Fortunately, PocketMac for BlackBerry 4.0 is a free app that alleviates this problem—though not as smoothly as I had hoped.

Bottom Line

Despite some weird anomalies, PocketMac for BlackBerry is a useful sync app that lets you control your BlackBerry from your Macintosh computer.

Pros

Free. Works with any BlackBerry model with a USB port. Supports built-in Mac OS X applications, Entourage, and Lotus Notes, among others. Redirects desktop e-mail. Can utilize a .Mac account for backup.

Cons

Safari bookmark sync crashed repeatedly. Some flaky behavior. Doesn't sync Firefox bookmarks.
