Uh yeah. The software updater is windows only. Unfortunately, I only run Linux at home... And don't have a windows box at work, either.

As an aside, Nokia just put itself on the same sh*t-list in my book with VMware and TomTom. And this is my message to them.

If you are going to leverage the power of Linux, its probably going to attract a fair number of Linux users...Bet on this. If you are going to sell a Linux device, then you need to build LInux apps to manage/support it.

The Nokia device isn't so bad, this is the first time in almost 3 years of owning one that I have encountered the problem. But vmware and tomtom both *require* you to have Windows to interact with the device/software.

I apologize for the rant, but that kind of thing really gets under my skin. I'm a professional Linux system admin and security engineer in real life, so generally don't run windows a whole lot. So when I see a device that supports Linux, I generally try to support that company. I really hate when I get it stuck to me because of it.
