That's been my argument, I am just getting fed up with them taking forever. People who think a worldwide company is going to ignore Mac's because it is 10% of less of the market are insane. That 10% (or 7% or 8%, whatever you want to claim) is still millions and millions and millions of potential customers for a global company like RIM.

Heck, even Microsoft makes their products available on Mac. I am using Excel 08 right now. The problem with RIM and the Blackberry is that no one knows how fast they are moving, so we don't know if patience will be worth it. My patience is running thin, which is why if the next generation iPhone comes out before the BB Mac DM, I'm gone.

I did see someone post a note the other day that they were told directly by RIM developers (at CES in January) that a Mac desktop manager would be available in the first half of the year. It is the internet so who knows how true that is, but it is at least a reason for hope.
