Forever the shunned by Research in Motion, Mac users got a bit of good news late last week as the company announced the availability of BlackBerry Media Sync for Mac. The company plans to launch Mac software throughout 2009, and have seemingly got a head start on their roll outs. This is a “preview” version, meaning there might be and probably are a number of bugs. Still, it’s a step forward for those of us who buy into Apple’s ritzy marketing schemes.

The main idea of Media Sync is so that you can transfer your non-DRM iTunes music right onto your BlackBerry. If you use another method to get your music to your BlackBerry, this probably doesn’t mean much to you. But for those who use iTunes as their main music application, Media Sync can make things a bit easier.

There’s a catch, though. There’s always a catch. While you have Media Sync installed on your Mac, you cannot use any other syncing program, including PocketMac and Missing Sync. Once you uninstall Media Sync, you can resume using other software.
