marketing, Oded Ran, first WP7/Zune (Windows Phone 7/ Zune) syncing with Mac is coming "soon", with Microsoft later confirming it'll happen this year. "Later in 2010 Microsoft will make a public beta available of a tool that allows Windows Phone 7 to sync select content with Mac computers", Microsoft's beginning some time "later in 2010" Mac users will be able to live the dream along with their PC counterparts by downloading a beta OS X application which will allow you to sync "select content" from a Mac of their choosing to a Windows Phone.

While that doesn't really sound like a full-fledged Zune client for Mac, it's still nice to see Microsoft giving some love to Mac users who also happen to be interested in a Windows Phone 7 device.

Will Microsoft's new cell phone be able to compete with the iPhone and Droid?
