Nokia's new software simplifies Mac syncing

Nokia has made some real progress with their new sync software for Mac, Nokia Media Transfer 1.0.  Ridiculously boring name aside, the software is actually pretty amazing and makes syncing between your Nokia phone and iTunes and iPhoto a snap.  The software creates a new folder iCon (sorry, we had to) in both iTunes and iPhoto.  Then, drag your fav playlists and photo albums into the folder, click sync and you're on the road with no messy mass storage issues to manage.

As an aside, if you want to finish fully syncing your phone, be sure to use iSync to sync contacts, calendars and tasks.

We just installed Nokia's software at the office, and are really impressed with the quality.  So far, we've only used it to sync two devices in the last ten minutes, so we'll let you know if we find any issues with it as we continue to tinker. The software makes syncing phones as simple as syncing any other portable media player, which is definitely a good thing.

PS -- It's still in beta, so consider yourself warned.  Download it from Nokia's site.
