Windows Phone 7 will offer Mac support

Are you interested in trying out the Xbox Live functionality of Microsoft's upcoming Windows Phone 7 platform? Afraid that, as a Mac owner, you won't be able to actually use the devices? Microsoft sent us a polite email, letting us know that "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."

Further details weren't offered about the tool, but its mere existence is a huge step up from Microsoft's previous handheld offering, the Zune. The Zune client was exclusive to Windows, meaning Mac owners were denied access to Project Gotham Racing on the go.
