Xilisoft iPhone Transfer 2.1

Xilisoft iPhone Transfer is a multi-purpose iPhone back up and restore utility. It can be used for a variety of things, but its main function is to allow you to back up your iPhone and then restore it, when needed. Xilisoft iPhone Transfer can access your iPhone and download all of its contents: music, videos, photos, contacts, etc. It can save that data to the hard drive and you can then upload it to the iPhone again, even after a system restore. There is a catch, though, as it is often the case with these apps: you need to install iTunes. Now, iTunes already allows you to backup your photos and contacts, so then, Xilisoft iPhone Transfer is best used for downloading your DRM music and videos. iTunes doesn't make it easy for you to back those up.

Another interesting feature Xilisoft iPhone Transfer offers is the ability to use your iPhone or iPod touch as a portable hard drive. You can copy files to your iPhone and then download them on another computer that has the application installed. I am not sure if you can legally install this application on more than one computer, though. Let's hope you can. Other than this nice feature, iPhone Transfer performs just like other similar applications. I like however, that you can manage more than one device at a time.
