C’mon Nokia, what’s the deal? Is there going to be an Ovi Suite for Mac? or not?

It was recently reported that Apple has 91% of the market for computers in the $1000+ range. So it would make sense that a lot of the people buying expensive smartphones like the N97 would also have an Apple computer, and it follows that if Nokia wants to compete in this market segment they need a Mac version of Ovi Suite.

Nokia, Please provide us with an update?

This is the problem with nokia. You’re just too slow. If the N97 is supposed to be serious contender to the iPhone then where’s the mac support?

You need to have simpler approach to things. Your software is complicated, your interface is not as seamless, etc. Your Music Store is another disappointment. No mac support, lots of steps to actually get to the music!

C’mon Nokia! up your game! You are starting to look like Microsoft!

Good question. It’s been a while, and though they said by end of this year, I am worried as we actually approach the end of the year.

I’ll dig around on this one once more.

[...] As I used the N97 more, I rediscovered just how powerful the open-source Symbian S60 operating system is. After organizing the system to my liking on a file/folder level I began to search for apps online. There’re tons of websites hosting and selling S60 apps but I searched mostly on SymbianGear (which I remembered from way back when I used to get apps on their other site, PalmGear) and from the websites of independent developers. I downloaded a bunch of apps including Tweets60, ProfiMail, Shazam, and an awesome app called JoikuSpot that turns the phone into a hotspot, broadcasting its data connection over WiFi. I was impressed by the number and variety of S60 apps that were available, but was really amazed by the capabilities the apps had, thanks to the open-source platform. Installing apps and transferring files to and from the phone was fast and easy, as it shows up as a standard USB mass-storage device when plugged into a computer and apps are composed of single, executables files, much like simpler Mac OS apps. For music and media, the Nokia Multimedia Transfer app syncs my entire iTunes library with the phone whenever I plug it in. Really my only software related gripe about the N97 is that Nokia’s more powerful desktop sync app (which is needed to do firmware updates), the Ovi suite, is currently windows only, although they say they’re working on a Mac version.

We’ll, it’s summer and still waiting for that Ovi for Mac suite. Any minute? Can’t believe a company of Nokia’s size and scope can’t get this out – even in beta. And there isn’t even a word from the company about it. Kind of sad; says a lot about what’s happening at the big N.
