I'd rather have it for iOS than the MacOS, since I am an iPad user. I am let down that Microsoft isn't (yet) delivering a Zune client for Apple. (I hear the folks who were briefed in Europe were told October 24, but Microsoft would not confirm that date when I asked.) The final version of the Connector tool is out early next year. The public beta of this tool is due out some time before the end of this year. And by 'content,' in this case, Microsoft means iTunes content (that isn't DRM'd), iPhoto content and any Windows Phone 7 software and/or app updates for the phones. It is meant to allow Mac users who want to buy Windows Phone 7 phones to sync their content with the phones. Unlike the Zune PC client (codenamed 'Dorado'), the Connector is not a Zune play-back app. Instead, it has built what it's calling a Mac Connector tool for Windows Phone 7. Microsoft is not releasing a version of its Zune PC for the Mac (at least not yet). (A bit about this leaked out earlier this month and Microsoft said we could say something was coming, but prevented us from sharing the details, for some odd reason.)
Now that embargoes on Windows Phone 7 reviewer information are ending, Microsoft is allowing us to say more about exactly how it plans to allow Apple Mac users to sync with the new breed of WP7 devices.
