Microsoft has announced that the Windows Phone 7 Connector for the Mac is now available as a beta version.

Windows Phone 7 Connector is designed to let you synchronize your 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.

Microsoft has apparently decided that it needs Mac users in order for the Windows Phone 7 to be a success. This makes some sense, since Macs tend to attract the higher income first adopters that buy smart phones. But, it also seems like competing with the iPhone for Mac users will be Microsoft’s toughest sell.
