R.I.M. Launching Media Sync 3.0

If you haven't been using R.I.M.'s Media Sync Feature before I suggest you take another look at it today now that it's been updated to 3.0.  I honestly don't use my BlackBerry for a lot of music and what I do listen to is usually Slacker Radio, but I do take a lot of pictures and so I find the new picture sync capability of Media Sync 3.0 very exciting indeed.  The Picture sync feature allows you to easily keep your BlackBerry Pictures updated on your PC.  The sync automatically recreates any folders you have created on your BlackBerry so that the files are organized the same way on your computer.  The download for Media Sync 3.0 will be available at NOON Eastern Standard Time

RIM will launch BlackBerry Media Sync 3.0 on November 24. Media Sync 3.0 adds 2-Way Photo Sync for syncing with your PC via files & folders.
