so based on this, it appears OTA updates are a no go.

[spartan905]

awww, that sucks! Where's the Mac love at RIM?

[paa79594]

whack, how will I update since i'm also on a mac?

[jbjtkbw007]

Can't you guys still install IE version 5.5 on OS-X and use that to do the update, or is that now verboten?

[spacemanspiff]

Tried it on IE7, but they want me to install a Windows Installer Package. Not gonna do that just yet.

[Sooks]

u dont lol... and this was brought up waay eairler in the day .. but a good review for you night owls lol

[SaMaster14]

I'm on a Mac too, lol.

I guess i'll just use my dads computer...

[pollofrito81]

mac here too lol. My work laptop is a t43 though so I am ok

[hadisious]

ha i installed it... its just a simple plug in, nothing but an ActiveX control..... once u do that you get this page (see attached)

once u click "check for upgrades" it boots up device manager ( i have 4.7 installed and asks me for PIN input, so its just looking for a plugged in storm. pretty straight forward.

[Nyisles84]

on a mac here...god i cant wait till they have a DM equivalent for us Mac users

[imann101]

Theres no update yet, thats just to keep track of new software updates.

[Unkoil]

poor macintosh users always being left out in the cold with limit software access.

thank god for linux and windows

[imann101]

All it does is open up the desktop manager and asks which device you want to connect to to 'check for updates'

so we have to keep checking

[moosc]

it works on my fire fox and IE8

If you have a current BB it will offer up an OS upgrade if you don't have the most recent and it will also do an app load.....Nice, but alarming, (It's nice to have your actual OS installed on your pc), you don't want to have dm open when you run this, AND you must have previously sync'd to dm so your BB will be recognized......

[SurrealCivic]

has anyone updated this yet?

it looks like its just added components to the 4.7.0.65 Core Applications.

hook up an existing BB, (I used my pearl), to your pc and open this, leave dm closed, very interesting to say the least....

i'd rather be "left out in the cold" than using windows, that's for sure.

[sdmilton]

OTA is a GO. I watched them do it today at my store.

wow I gotta give it to you man.. I like things simple.. I have to use mac to keep myself update with apple news and such and after that I'm back on linux and windows..

but hey man if you like limited access to software, power to you...
