Can't read media error in Nokia Link

My Nokia Link software tends to crash with "Can't Read Media" error message. This bug commonly occurs together with desktop platform crash and keeps you from syncing anything to your N9.

The easiest way to deal with it is to scan your computer thoroughly with SpyBot Search and Destroy, and uninstall and reinstall Nokia Link.

It helped me.

N9 vs N8 - why should (or shouldn't) I switch

I am one of these guys who switched to Nokia N9 from the fan favourite N8. I did not really need to do that as the N8 (with the recent Belle update) was an amazing piece of hardware and I did not really feel I needed to change it. Why did I change the model then? Well, I guess I just wanted some new shiny gadget and Nokia N9 looks so gorgeous I just couldn't resist. If you are still wondering whether to switch to N9 from your N8 or stay with the good old model, I am going to help you out a bit. Please consider the pros and cons that I've prepared for your consideration.
