Delayed for years and now 10.5 only - jrm2

Sir ("suitsme"),

Unless I've misunderstood your comment and misplaced angst at Apple for not making this software operable with MacOS 10.4... you may wish to know that the software is written and distributed by Research in Motion (RIM), the makers of Blackberry devices. It is not Apple's duty to write software to sync with a competitor's hardware. Moreover, Apple has made and marketed its own smartphone for a couple years. Some would say their's is a superior product (including providing syncing software for both Macs & PCs). If you "demand" that RIM should have written software for their competitor's hardware sooner, you might want to note that you find it interesting that they finally did so only after Apple apparently made significant inroads into RIM's former customer base. For you to demand that Apple write the software for RIM seems to miss the point of capitalism. Once you've directed your comments, concerns, and if I've got it right, your angst at RIM, I would love to hear what response you get from them. I'm guessing you will understand why they took this long when they do not respond to you at all. Sorry mate.

I completely agree with your complaint, but it has nothing to do with Apple. The software is from RIM (the Blackberry people), and it's for too late, and it doesn't work with 10.6 either.

It's no wonder that the Blackberry has lost ground to the iPhone and other smartphones. Clumsy hardware, and crappy software when it finally arrives. RIM is still a Microsoft centered company, first ignoring Mac users, then proving a lack of interest in Mac users with this weak effort.
