Thread: Desktop Manager for Mac Screenshot Tour

The release of Desktop Manager for Mac is looking to be very imminent. The Boy Genius Report has gotten their hands on the new software and has a nice tour (no pun intended) of the features. Overall Desktop Manager for Mac looks great, and works well. I'm sure all of you Mac fans are already foaming at the mouth, so I won't waste any time and get straight to the images.



You can save your password in your keychain so you don't have to enter it in every time you want to connect to your BlackBerry.



You can give your BlackBerry a name. We all know you have a cute little name for it. Bryan calls his Fluffy.



Would you like to automatically backup your BlackBerry? It'll even encrypt it.





Let's transfer some music to your BlackBerry. Just one minor nusicance, the transfer speed seems to be slow, just like it is in Media Sync for Windows.



It's great how you can easily choose to backup all data or just selected data. Backups are saved in .bbb format rather than .ipd as with Windows.



You can see that Desktop Manage for Mac looks great. Not only that, but it also works well too. BGR has been playing with the software for a few days without any noticeable quirks or problems. It works significantly faster than Desktop Manager for Windows. Nor is it as bloated. This is not the final version either. Which is impressive thus far.

The only real caveat which has already been reported is the issue of loading leaked operating systems. There isn't any way to manually have Desktop Manager load an OS. It must be downloaded directly by Desktop Manager and RIM servers.

MAC users can't be more happier with this news. They waited a lot of time for this. I think (For the Screenshots) is going to be better than windows version. But if they can't load leaked OS, that suck's.

Somebody is going to fix this issue, I don't think they can't load leaked OS for much time

I think I just wet myself.

I just realized that I miss the nice mac OS GUI

Can't wait until this get released

I have some speculation and theories on this. The first of which is that I am guessing that the OS packages are .dmg for Mac and RIM doesn't want to go through the trouble of distributing a leaked version for it's partner

Now my theory as a possible way around this would be to hijack the download address used by DM. Though I doubt it's that easy.

I think we'll just have to get our friends from rimgeeks to come up with a nice workaround.

But that is a good point I can see RIM going through the trouble of creating a dmg file for official OS but leaks will most like only come in the form of an exe. Anyway, for Mac users this is much better than what is currently available.
