    An EXE for a video? And what do us Mac users have to do with that? ;-)

    I don’t think I’ve ever seen a tool for Mac from Nokia. :)

    In this day and age, either parallels or bootcamp is essential if you plan on doing mobile development on a Mac.

    Has anyone out there tried (or rather succeeded) running S60 Theme Studio (Carbide) under Parallels on an Intel Mac? All my PCs have died & I could use a new Mac soon, but I’d really like to know if random things like this will run on it before spending $2.5K to find out. Thanks!

    I just quickly tested this and it ran fine. I did no in depth testing but Theme Studio opened and I was able to edit a theme. The only issue I had was that on first launching Theme Studio there was an error about a missing dll. After a quick search on google I downloaded the dll and placed in windows/system and all was well.
    - 24″ intel iMac 2.33 Ghz, 2GB RAM
    - OS X 10.4.8
    - Parallels Build 3150 RC2 with Win XP Pro (set to use 1gig of RAM)
