The free pocketmac software on the blackberry site will sync to iphoto, itunes, ical, and mail, but make sure you save your photos to your memory card and not the phone default memory if you want to export them to iphoto from your phone.

The odd thing in this review is that they mention the Missing Sync, which I use for my Palm and have used with my BlackBerry Curve. However, PocketMac for the BlackBerry is free and is available from their site or the RIM site. When I upgraded my Curve to 4.5 Missing Sync didn't work quite right. So I tried PocketMac and it works fine plus it supports more BlackBerry native functions than Missing Sync. I prefer the user interface of Missing Sync but I don't think it works when I have Entourage sync services enabled properly. It might now but I'm happy with PocketMac. I'll wait to see what Missing Sync comes out with next, feature wise, and may revert back to that for my BlackBerry sync's but be aware that if money is an issue PocketMac, is as I said, free.

Actually you do not need this software.
Blackberry just released a blackberry media sync for mac.
Although this is not the full version it is there newest build and it's free.
(Note: I am not talking about PocketMac) You will not be able to find it on any of blackberry's .com website links. They haven't put any on there yet. So go to www.blackberry.com/mediasync . Click download Media Sync Mac ( Preview).
This will only sync your itunes music but works. It will only sync your cd imported songs. But if you upgrade your library with apple's new itunes plus upgrade feature you're ready to go. I am only 10 and I figured out what these idiot Verizon Reps and Blackberry Support Experts couldn't!
Note: If you use Pocket Mac you will not be able to use the application because of usb driver problems. You have to delete the PocketMac and or any other blackberry syncing application.

You can sync photos to the Storm. I just downloaded the new version of Missing sync (V2) and was able to get my photos back and forth from my Mac to the Storm. It didn't let me put my photos on the SD card just the internal.

I got demo from this review

Hope this helps

The Video has many incorrect information. For example you can lock the keypad for numbers by holding the numbers key for a couple of seconds so you can enter for example a phone number or long set of numbers. I think they should play around with the phone longer before posting reviews or videos online.
