I just had a chat with the program manager of Nokia Multimedia Transfer for Mac, and he told me the story about how Eseries devices became compatible with Mac (which he said I could share with you).

Last June, after a period of hard work, the team proudly released the first version 1.0 of their app, designed to delight Nseries users. As their surprise, loads of Eseries users started loudly complaining about the lack of support for them (see for example the comments thread to my post). Nobody expected the overlap of Mac and Eseries users to be that high. Anyway, the team humbly took your feedback, and worked extra hours to make it compatible with Eseries.

Simple as that. You talked, the team listened. Happy end.

Ps. at this point, we decided not to include Nokia Multimedia Transfer 1.2 in Beta Labs app portfolio, as it’s very mature as a “beta” already. However, please send your feedback to the system that they have built into the application, it can really make a difference!

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…
