I migrated our corporate smart phones to iPhones shortly after they came out with the 3G. It has been, all and all, hassle free and the users love them. But when I have users going abroad, I miss the Blackberry’s low bandwith use. 1 MByte DOES NOT equal 500+ text email on the iphone.

I have had both and Bberry is much better for emails. Besides, it sounds to me like you need to be on some IT forrum since you know, you ahem, “work for a very large, very well known” software company.

In the words of Christian Bale….. “Oh, well good for you!”.

on a whole the blackberry is a clear on the move buisiness winner but hands down the iphone has miles more to offer & better connectability & sync possibilities.

I’ve been running the latest beta of DoubleTwist which includes automatically updating iTunes playlist. Been stable so far for me, no issues.

And sadly, yours and Luis’ are the first I’ve heard of anyone else with the issue (much Googling, searching RIM’s forums, etc). I’ve completely given up on their Mac DM – it simply sits there at 200% CPU usage even when idle.
For what it’s worth, I haven’t had much luck from doubleTwist (looked promising, but another CPU-eater, and focused on using its own Library rather than iTunes’), or iTuneMyWalkman (yet… still trying to get this to work) either. I’ve also tried/used MarkSpace’ Missing Sync, but that eventually stopped working and I couldn’t fathom paying $40 to upgrade to their v.2 when all I want is to synchronize a playlist or two.

They are a bit “archaic,” but they work, everything makes sense, they are efficient and focused, and email is a marvel. I went from BB for 2 years to Android–back to BB 3 weeks later.

Anyhow, working on sync options for window for my BB as well (which is how I found this blog).

Cheers!

Many of the songs are protected and can only play on an Ipod or I-touch. I am only able to download half of my playlist to my device, the other half has media licensing issues and is locked out.

Is it possible to sync my PC slaved work Bberry to my iTunes at home? If so, should I download Media Sync for Mac or Windows?
Thanks for your input!

I love apple, & OSX; it’s simply more user friendly. I downloaded the BlackBerry Desktop Manager from the blackberry website (used to sync music from your itunes playlists) but after running the installer and getting all the way too the “install” portion of the installer, I get an “install failed” : The flowing install step failed: run postinstall script for BlackBerrVSP. Contact software man…for ass…” Can anyone help? Or have suggestions ..

Then no file get copied. Somebody has a solution?
