Nokia Software Updater for Mac available in beta, lets you update your N97 under OS X
There hasn't always been a lot of love between Symbian devices and Macs, and while Nokia just got awful friendly with Microsoft the company is also extending something of an olive branch to the Apple community. The Nokia Software Updater for Mac just went live, more than a year after the Windows 7 version, and, while it's still in beta form, it'll allow you to push the latest revisions of core software and apps to your device. At this point there aren't any particular issues being reported, but the app does warn that you can brick your device if you unplug it while updating. Nothing new there, really.
Nokia Software Updater adds love for Windows 7
It's still in beta, but Nokia is feeling so confident about its new Windows 7-compatible version of Nokia Software Updater that it's coming right out and saying that "this release candidate is almost ready to go live for all users and we only intend to keep it in Beta Labs for a few weeks." Besides the all-important compatibility bump, the latest version of NSU also beefs up the robustness of the USB connection to the device (pretty important if you're interested in not bricking the phone -- something we've had happen before) and rolls out the changelog text in additional languages. It's available for download right now -- and next, Nokia, all you've got to do is finally make a Mac OS version of this thing.
