This is interesting...

...except they left out THE most important device!

Can you guess which device?

...go figure

Well, yeah, it's for the Symbian (or, I should say, S60) devices. Nokia == S60. What? They make Linux-based devices too? What the---

What? Pc? ... heh.. JK

Well, thanks for that anyway, as I have an N73 and a mac!

Old news, have had this installed for a while. It works pretty well for my N95.

Well, it may be old news... and forgive me if I don't understand all the underpinnings of Symbian vs. Debian... but the S60 series devices are all ARM based.

It just seemed to me that if they can provide this kind of file sharing between a Mac (or PC) and an ARM based device, then it may/should be possible to provide the same services on other ARM based devices.

Guess this is just a wishful thinking post... oh well.

I don't understand the problem.
It's possible to OBEX Push/Receive and File Browse from the Mac to both my Nokia N95 and my N800.
Since there's no real PIM on the N800 there's no need for iSync to work with it, and iSync works just fine over bluetooth with my N95 for both contacts and calendars.
For the N800 all you have to do is copy your music/whatever over to an SD card and then put it in the N800 itself. The metacrawler will kick in and scan the files for the mediaplayer. And there's plenty of ways to stream from the Mac to the N800 via wi-fi so you don't even have to copy anything over.

I'm having no problems whatsoever "connecting" my Mac to both my N800 and N95 with minimal setup/configuration needed.
And it's a lot more stable than anything I've seen in the Windows world.
I guess you just want Nokia to create a special Mac syncing PC suite.
I'd rather they spend their time on the firmware itself.

Frankly I have no problem, but its obvious that you do. And I will concede to you as the winner.

See ya.

Perhaps this is too obvious to post, but I just had fun using Orb to transfer multimedia files to my N800, being too lazy to plug in the USB cable. I just navigated over to the files using File Manager to the Shared media directory on my Windows laptop, then it was no problem copying and pasting them to the directory I chose on my N800.
