Before the release of BlackBerry Desktop Manager for Macs, one of the best ways to sync your music, videos, and photos between a Mac and BlackBerry was doubleTwist. In fact, using doubleTwist, you could easily sync media to a wide variety of mobile devices — including Sony PSP, G1, Palm Pre, Windows Mobile (5.0/6.0), and even iPhone (2.0 firmware). What was great about this solution is that if you are in a household that utilizes multiple devices — you would have a single resource to transfer your media.

Now doubleTwist has added what could possibly be the best feature (and the one feature that can keep the application relevant) — an integrated Amazon MP3 music store letting you purchase and sync music to hundreds of mobile devices.

Targeted as an alternative to iTunes for a wider selection of mobile devices, the store is music-only. You’ll be able to purchase songs or full albums using your with access to Amazon MP3’s library of over 5 Million songs. The application succeeds by making it easier to purchase songs and sync them to your devices using a single methd than having to go to Amazon MP3 online, save the files to your computer, and then sync the files to your mobile devices using variety of different steps and add-ons apps from Amazon.

Here is doubleTwist in action:

doubleTwist is free. You can download the Mac version of the app (with the Amazon MP3 store) now — the PC version is coming soon. The store is currently US-only, but the UK, Germany, and France are next in line to get the doubleTwist/Amazon MP3 store support.
