BlackBerry-MediaSync3RIM’s desktop app for syncing up your BlackBerry’s media card with iTunes and Windows Media Player has just been updated to version 3.0, now allowing two-way picture syncing. That means not only will your pictures be automatically offloaded to a particular folder, but if you’ve taken some nice pictures with a real camera and want to have them on your BlackBerry, they’ll be pulled in. Of course, those pictures might be a little large for your media card, so you can opt to have them mobile-optimized. If you’re anything like me, you’ll let your mobile pictures pile up on the memory card for awhile until it strikes you to sideload the pictures onto your desktop, and then you’ve got a sizeable backlog to organize and upload; hopefully Media Sync mitigates some of that hassle into manageable chunks. To get started, go ahead and download the updated BlackBerry Media Sync for free over here.
