collaborated to better support mobile Mac users with easy-to-use BlackBerry
synchronization."
"PocketMac for BlackBerry is easy to install and allows users to synchronize

said Terence Goggin, CTO of Information Appliance Associates in the release.
"We are pleased to work with RIM to provide this robust solution to Apple's

"This licensing agreement will help expand the reach of BlackBerry to
another important market segment," said Mark Guibert, Vice President,
Corporate Marketing at Research In Motion in the release. "There is
significant interest in BlackBerry from Mac users and we look forward to
delivering PocketMac for BlackBerry to customers around the world."
RIM has licensed the complete version of PocketMac for BlackBerry from IAA

for BlackBerry synchronizes the email, contacts, calendar, tasks and notes
of Microsoft Entourage, OS X's Address Book and iCal, Now Contact and Now
Up-to-Date, DayLite, and Stickies, among other applications. This
