It seems that Microsoft and Apple are actually acting a little rationally with each other for once in a blue moon, by actually accepting people can have one of their products, but may not have them all. What I am referring to in this instance anyway is that there will be people who have Macs but may still want to get a Windows Phone 7 Smartphone without a load of compatibility hassles.
Well, Microsoft have announced their plans for a Mac compatibility client for their WP7 devices. Some time "later in 2010", Mac users will be happy to know a beta OS X application will be released, allowing you to sync "select content" from a Mac to a Windows Phone (take a brief pause to gasp). Unfortunately, there is little more information from Microsoft or Apple regarding the matter despite their whopping statement regarding the matter:
"Later in 2010 Microsoft will make a public beta available of a tool that allows Windows Phone 7 to sync select content with Mac computers."
Well thanks Microsoft, I guess we'll be hearing more on this in the near future. For now, Mac users don't have to feel like they can't own a WP7 because of restrictive stuck-upness of their computer. So if you were bordering between WP7 and iPhone this Christmas has this pushed you over the edge or are you still adamant about the iPhone?
