Nokia Nseries PC-Suite 2.0 Beta

Nokia has released a new beta version of Nseries PC-Suite. It is actually a collections of Nokia Nseries and third-party PC applications, such as Nseries Update Manager, Map Loader, Software Updater, Nokia Music Manager, Nokia PC Sync, Download!, Nokia Photos. In theory it sounds great to integrate all this into one easy to use package. In practice it's not that simple.

First of all, before you download this application make sure you have a fast broadband connection - the installation package is huge, roughly 350 MB. Even though it includes the latest version of .Net framework, it's still huge. And why do I have to download the .Net framework if I already have it installed. It just doesn't make any sense.

Also if you have an older computer with not so much memory, don't even think about installing it. It's a real memory hog. I have a fast computer with 2 GB memory but I still don't want to install and use applications that use a lot of memory for practically nothing. I need the memory available for other applications that I frequently use.

I like the idea of bringing all the applications under one application launcher. However, a lot of software development and optimization is still needed before Nseries PC-Suite will be permanently installed in my computer. I already uninstalled it from my computer.
