« Hearing grumbles about Internet Explorer specific design | Main | MOSH Client published at Beta Labs - try it and tell the team what you would like to have! »
All you Mac lovers*, attention!
Nokia Multimedia Transfer 1.2 Beta for Mac just became available for download.
What's new:
* Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard is now supported
* Improved Nokia Device Browser with folder view
* Ability to customise the transcoding of files in iTunes and iPhoto transfers
* Performance of iTunes and iPhoto transfers with a large number of files has been improved
* Many bug fixes and minor improvements
Note: we at Nokia Beta Labs didn't have anything to do with this launch, but I'll find out who are the right contact persons from the team, and make sure they will hear your feedback!
* = from now on, count me in this group, as I finally managed to convince my wife that a new Mac with Leopard would be a good investment...
Update: comments thread closed. Nokia Beta Labs blog and all related discussions have been moved to http://betalabs.nokia.com/blog.

Thank you very much!
Posted by: MBeat | November 2, 2007 06:20 PMI love whoever put this little application together. I get all my podcasts and revision3 shows via iTunes. Now it's really easy to watch gigaOM on my N80 without transcoding manually. I dont even bother with USB anymore. I'm sticking with 10.4 for now.
Posted by: Eric | November 3, 2007 12:31 AMWhen I first tried the Nokia Multimedia Transfer, I was expecting something on the line of PC Suite (i.e. a heavy mishmash of applications that sometimes work and sometimes don't). I was totally surprised that the application was very useful and worked very well.
Why isn't a simple application like this available for Windows users? Just mentioning PC Suite causes people to flee in panic, but I've yet to find a person that would find Multimedia Transfer horrible. You can forward my greets to the team that did this one: good work, please help the PC Suite team :)
Posted by: Symbiatch | November 3, 2007 02:06 AMsadly it doesn't support the N95 8GB, funnily enough version 1.1 did work.
Posted by: ratkatThere is no official iSync plugin either.
I agree with Symbiatch, would be great to have an app that would easily transfer iTunes to the phone from a PC.
Posted by: Mark | November 5, 2007 01:26 AMGuys, iTunes Agent works great on the PC to sync music to your S60 device. Google it, it's free.
Posted by: Ricky Cadden@Tommi, a quick question... If this is a beta, why is it not listed on the Beta Labs pages? I would say that all Betas should be primarily hosted on the Beta Labs site and the 'official' pages should then host only the final, stable software, and link to the Beta Labs when they mention 'a new beta version is available'.
That way everyone will notice the difference between what's released and what's in Beta.
Just my opinion :o)
Posted by: Duncan Sample | November 5, 2007 12:42 PMDuncan: you are absolutely right, all relevant Nokia beta stuff should be listed under Beta Labs.
Nokia consists of hundreds of relatively independent R&D teams, and I just haven't been in direct contact with this particular team yet.
Posted by: Tommi Vilkamo | November 5, 2007 01:05 PMI'm curious to use this, the 1.1 on Leopard crashed like a teen-aged automobile driver, constantly!
Trying this new version is fancy! Congrats on designing an app with user-flows that make sense.
So far two errors:
Posted by: Nick | November 6, 2007 05:08 AM* -1728 AppleScript error during setup, I don't have my iTunes library filled up with data yet. The program crashes trying to open up that non-existant folder!
* Opening iPhoto with AppleScript I see it typing in some 9876543210+ thing, then the NMT app complains about an error.
