They're the reason I posted > the link. I assume I'm one of that vocal minority, I think I tried iPhone Explorer a year ago or more. IIRC, it simply lets you use the unused storage on your iphone as the world's largest and most expensive thumb drive. The iPhone can't actually access any of files you place on it, making the app next to useless. While I do want to access the iPhone's files from a PC via USB, it's not just to say I did- I want to be able to place files on the iPhone so that they'll be usable by the iPhone.

Maybe truee, but if the person writing the description isn't suited for the job, what does that say about the boss's other decisions? Or to put it another way, if a company is careless about what they show to the public, how careful are they about what they don't show? -- Wes Groleau “Discussion” http://Ideas.Lang-Learn.us/WWW?itemid=44

It's free (until > Aug 1), so why not give it a try? I'm having my doubts. As I posted earlier, I got errors (1) trying to save a graphic I had modified (2) trying to drag in a copy I had saved to my desktop. -- Wes Groleau Oral language in the classroom—what is it good for? http://Ideas.Lang-Learn.us/barrett?itemid=1351 |
