The busy bees over at Nokia Beta Labs have released an updated version of yet another PC program to assist your Nokia smartphone. We already have PC Suite, Nseries PC Suite, Ovi Suite, and this one Nokia Photos.

Nokia photos is a great tool to keep track of everything you snap from your device or any other device, but like all the other PC programs that Nokia releases its memory hungry and will easily bog down an older computer. If you have a fast computer than you don't have much to worry about.

What is Nokia Photos Exactly?

Nokia Photos 1.5 can now import pictures and videos from any S60 device, digital camera, memory stick as well as from your hard disk. If you have an Nseries phone, you can do even more with Nokia Photos: for example, you can load your device with tons of content from your PC. Nokia Photos converts videos to the right format so that they play in your device. It can also shrink pictures to the screen resolution so that they do not take up too much space on your phone. This way you can carry thousands of pictures with you all the time. Newer devices like N78 and N96 understand tags, albums and other organization in Nokia Photos and display them in the Photos application on the phone.

I think that feature is great I wonder what video formats it supports.

What About Maps and Geotagged Photos?

You can visualize your geotagged pictures on the new map view. You can also manually position any picture or video on the map to geotag it. We use technology from Nokia Maps so you can do the same things that are familiar to you in your phone like searching for cities, addresses and places of interest as well as saving your favorite places.

Awesome, it's about time Nokia gives us a reason to geotag photos besides Google Maps, Flickr, and Sportstracker.

And Of Course, It Works With Ovi

Apart from the evident Ovi look and feel, you will find that it is much easier to setup Nokia Photos to share your media on Ovi. And, of course, Ovi can understand your geotagged pictures and videos and show them on a map if you choose so.
