A new software setup, Unison, allows Mac users to synchronize their Maemo 5 devices with iPhoto automatically over the network while taking pictures. Setup is currently very non-trivial, but interested testers should read and follow the steps outlined in the blog post.
The Nokia Research Center has demoed a new wireless data transfer concept. The so-called, Explore and Share concept starts by placing an N900 onto a "writer" that's tethered to a PC at a retail store. At that point, the PC recognizes the handset and serves up a number of options to the purchaser. For the purposes of the demo, an unnamed Finn selects an album that downloads to the handset in less than 10 seconds. While an interesting demo, practical uses in a retail situation seem limited.
