It Took Six Weeks For The PlayBook To Sync With Mac (RIMM)

RIM has finally updated its BlackBerry Desktop Manager for Mac, enabling PlayBook owners to sync photos, video, and other files.

We were extremely frustrated that there was no way to do this on the Mac when we first reviewed the PlayBook. If you wanted to get any media on or off the device you had to e-mail it to yourself.

Still, the Desktop Manager update isn't perfect. You can't back up or restore your device like you can with other tablets. Perhaps that will come in the next version.
