Windows Phone 7 Connector for Mac Beta Now Available

As reported earlier this month, Microsoft has released software allowing Mac users to synchronize media with a Windows Phone 7 device. Microsoft had held a media event earlier this month to officially unveil its Windows Phone 7 operating system along with several handsets to be available over the next few months through a number of carriers.
Now available from the Windows Download Center, the application requires Mac OS 10.5 Leopard or higher and provides the following functionality:
Windows Phone 7 Connector lets your syncronize your favorite music, videos, photos and podcasts from iTunes and iPhoto to your Windows Phone 7, so you can take your media with you wherever you go.
Though no mention is made in the description for the beta Connector application, it's unlikely that any DRM-protected content purchased from the iTunes Store can be synchronized to a Windows Phone 7 device.Top Rated Comments

:confused:Edit: According to the site, 10.5 Leopard or higher is required. Linkity
It's only a matter of time before Apple puts a stop to the iTunes synching like they did to Palm..
So, Microsoft can write software to sync iTunes files, so long as it isn't actually using the iTunes app (a la what Palm did?) This is all Palm needed to do to avoid all that controversy?
Correct. Apple has no way whatsoever to restrict the device from accessing your iTunes library outside of locking the files out by DRM to an iDevice, which they don't do.
