Nokia Link App Syncs Media Content Between Nokia N9 and PC or Mac

While Nokia N9 is still shipping in selected markets, the Finnish company has announced the availability of Nokia Link app, which allows N9 users to shift media files from phone to a PC or Mac.

However, the Nokia Link does not replace the current Nokia Suite, previously known as Ovi Suite, as the application supports only the N9 smartphone.

Still, Nokia fans can use both applications on their computers at the same time, Nokia Link with Nokia N9, and Nokia Suite with other Nokia phones.

Even though the application is only compatible with Windows 7, Mac Snow Leopard and Mac Lion, Nokia stated that is currently working hard to add Windows XP support.

The PC version of Nokia Link has 10 MB size, while the Mac version has 25MB. Moreover, the application does not require users to restart their computers after the installation process is complete.

As soon as the phone is connected with a PC or Mac via a microUSB cable, the application will open automatically and display the amount of storage available on the Nokia N9.

With Nokia Link, N9 owners can sync music, videos and photos, or they can create backups and restore important mobile content.

Another interesting feature of the application allows users to link it to the media libraries on a computer.

It is important to understand that music, videos or photos from the phone with Nokia Link is not possible at the moment.

Instead users can remove their phone's music, photos, and videos with Finder in Mac or Windows Explorer in Windows via Mass storage mode.

According to Nokia, the desktop software is fully compatible with Windows Media Player, Windows Live Photo Gallery 2011 or later, as well as iTunes and iPhoto 8 or later.

Unfortunately, Linux users have been left out, as Nokia Link does not feature support for this operating system, but hopefully this is only temporary.
