AppleInsider reported that Parallels is launching a new test version of its Parallels Desktop virtualization software.
The new beta supports the iPhone and will have multiple extensions "blurring the line between native Mac and virtual Windows environments".
Significantly, the test update for version 3.0 adds full recognition of the iPhone in Windows XP or Vista virtual machines, allowing the device to sync with iTunes. The unusual change is necessary for those who may run Microsoft Outlook for work purposes and need its data on the Apple device, according to Parallels.
