Dear Apple,

What are the odds that you can reach out to the Rimkins and enlighten them on the need to have a Mac client for the Blackberry?

Yeah, yeah, iPhone…

Problem is that the corporate world is miles away from Technology Fashion as it struggles to get Exchange (or worse, Notes!) to integrate with handheld devices. So, while having the ability to play the White Stripes (album cover and all) on company phones is cool, it just doesn’t help justify the average IT budget when it comes to belt hardware.

Like it or not Blackberry is the 800 pound gorilla for remote business–not just the suit & tie crowd–but even those forward thinking organizations that allow jeans and grungewear into the office. By not having a workable answer in this space you are making it hard for those who think Macs have a place outside of the Creative department.

Third party apps like PocketMac have tried to bridge the gap but is not the same; direct vendor support is needed to validate putting brushed metal low profiles keyboards on The Desktop. With respect to this piece of weaponry it just isn’t there (heck VMware and Parallels can’t even crack this nut).

From the pleas and head scratchings popping up on the various forums this is a growing problem–one that needs your help. Who knows, with Microsoft running after them from the Windows everywhere juggernaut Rim might be willing to give it a shot.
