In a reversal of a long-held policy, Microsoft  has promised to release software that will allow devices running its new Windows Phone 7 operating system to synchronize with desktops and laptops running Mac OS X.

Microsoft's earlier mobile platforms -- Pocket PC and Windows Mobile -- would sync only with PCs running Windows. Mac users had to buy third-party synchronization software.

A straightforward statement from the company makes it clear that this policy is coming to an end:

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.

This company's Zune music service has been built into this new operating system, and according to a tweet from a Microsoft executive in the UK, a Zune client for Macs is in development. Music and video from this service will likely be the "select content" mentioned in today's statement.

Microsoft Windows Phone 7 Preview
Despite its name, this new smartphone operating system is going to have little in common with its predecessors. It will have a completely different user interface and won't run applications written for the earlier versions nor will any current models be upgradeable.

Windows Phone 7 PreviewIts focus has mostly moved to consumers, and its new UI will emphasize social networking, pictures, multimedia, games, etc. It has also been redesigned to be controlled with a fingertip.

Still, it will include some hold-overs from Windows Mobile that business users want: Microsoft Office Mobile and support for synchronizing with Microsoft Exchange.

In addition to working with Microsoft's Zune music service, it will also be tied into the Xbox Live gaming service.

Earlier this week, AT&T and T-Mobile announced an array of models running Windows Phone 7 from four different device makers.
