We’ve been Beta Testing the new Ovi Suite 2.1 Beta internally for a while now, but yesterday Nokia BetaLabs decided to open up the Beta to everyone, which is great news !
Why ? Well apart from Windows 7 support, the Ovi Suite is now a lot less memory/cpu & ram intensive which is always a good thing in our books.
There’s also a lot more improvements here and there. As mentioned on the post on BetaLabs :
We’ve worked with many different things for Nokia Ovi Suite 2.1, but I try to summarize here biggest new items:
- support for syncing contacts with ovi.com, so now you can easily keep your contacts safe in ovi.com
- support for syncing videos from device to Nokia Ovi Suite, video playback and transferring videos from Nokia Ovi Suite to device
- updating device applications and distributing new device applications (same feature as in devices “Software update” application)
- Windows 7 support
- support for syncing contacts with Mozilla Thunderbird
- new languages (Hindi, American English and Ukrainian)
- extended device support
- performance improvements
improving overall product quality and stability, for example in sync
If you’re interested, you can download the Beta over at the Nokia Ovi Suite v2.1 Page on BetaLabs. Be sure to check the “Known Issues” section first though.
