Remember the Milk Introduces Sync for Blackberry

Last week, I raved about Remember the Milk’s Gmail extension for keeping my inbox clean and action-oriented. Shortly thereafter, the good folks at RTM gave me something else to cheer about: MilkSync for Blackberry.

With MilkSync, you can sync your RTM tasks over-the-air with the built-in Blackberry Task application. RTM has had MilkSync for Windows Mobile for some time now.

Now publicly available, the application was inspired by Google’s outstanding calendar sync for Blackberry. You install a small program on your Blackberry which manages the sync process. The RTM application gives you a log of sync actions, as well as the ability to set preferences for the sync process.

After using the application through the Pro Testing Program for the last week or so, I can say that the sync works quite well. Set it once and forget it’s there. There are some limitations due to the rather weak Blackberry task application and some issues with the Blackberry OS. Be sure to thoroughly read the FAQ on the RTM page so your expectations are realistic.

While I can get all of RTM’s bells & whistles by visiting the RTM page in my Blackberry browser, it is quite handy to quickly add/review tasks on my phone without worrying about the strength of my data connection.

Simply visit www.rmilk.com/milksync in your Blackberry browser to download the sync tool. You will need to be a pro user to use the software beyond a 15 day trial period.

Now who is going to complete the trilogy and develop a tool to sync Gmail contacts over-the-air with the Blackberry address book application? ::tap tap:: I’m waiting. ::tap tap::
