Nokia? They’re still around?

I found this series of videos looking at where Nokia’s business is at today quite interesting.

I just came across a link in my feeds giving a heads up about a new OSX beta download from Nokia, it’s for an application called Nokia Media Transfer. At first I thought it would just be some badly ported software for Mac, but it’s actually pretty good. It manages the setup and control of …
