Not just me, Dotsisx tries out some Mac lovin'

[slitchfield]

You may remember my own four part article series looking at connecting an S60 phone to an Apple Mac? Symbian Guru's Dotsisx has written up her own experiences along similar lines and with similar 'Nokia, must do better' conclusions, here (part 1) and here (part 2).

Read on in the full article.

Hey, Steve.

At Nokia Daily News, I use a Macbook!

She don't have screenshots in those posts :( Your series is better, even though I disagreed with the outcome.

IMHO think Nokia would do better to devote their energies to having phones totally independent of any particular computer OS.

I did an article about how this is possible a while ago:

Basically, if all phones have a cheap or free broadband connection, there's very little need to attach them to computers any more. Content on the phone can be uploaded directly onto the internet (and then viewed from any computer), firmware can be updated directly from Nokia's servers onto the phone, and any external content can be directly downloaded onto the phone through Wi-Fi or 3.5G.

Eventually, smartphones will probably act as computers in their own right, with high res video output and the ability to host USB accessories (you'll be able to rip a CD straight onto the phone for example).

In fact, Nokia DOES care about mac users, they just put considerably LESS effort into mac development, quite understandable.
They will care much more since the day they switch their workforce from IBM Thinkpads to MacBooks yes, you can do that now, just ask IT to create a custom Windows image. The day MS stops XP support, whoops, just install MacOS X ah, wishful thinkng...
Now, on topic, the only piece of Mac software I am currently longing for is Lifeblog.
iPhoto does not give me ability to post into my Vox account. I am a mac user for many years but Lifeblog just ROCKS, even compared to Apple iStuff...
