Hands up who gets annoyed with iTunes.
Well here is a 14MB alternative that delves inside your iPhone and lets you do almost whatever you want: PC Suite for Windows.
This great piece of software completely replaces iTunes for transferring videos, songs and images from iPhone to computer and back again.
I purposely left out apps because the apps part of this software lets it down, It is horribly buggy and not worth the effort. So stick to iTunes for your apps. Hopefully this will improve with later releases.
The software uses a nice “iPhone mobile phone” friendly interface. That means you click on the image that looks just like your phone on your PC. This makes it very easy to use.
Here are a few features:
- Download & Upload pics to and from PC and iPhone
- Camera Calendar, Contacts and SMS Management
- Photos- works 100%
- Notes and eBook
- Call log
- SMS Chat- works 100%, send SMS to someone from PC through iPhone
- Safari, bookmark management
- Finder
- Backup/Restore
- Themes
- Ringtones – they wont get deleted when synchronized with iTunes and the app converts them automatically.
Oh, the installation is in chinese, but you can change the default language to English after installation.

Apple has announced an agreement with four major music labels – Universal, Sony BMG, Warner and EMI – that will finally see digital rights management (DRM) be phased out of the iTunes music store.
iTunes, the single largest music retailer in the US, is one of the last-remaining big-name adopters of DRM – a system designed to prevent customers from sharing purchased music with others. By alleviating such restrictions, music purchased from Apple’s iTunes is now available for use on any device and not just iPods and iPhones.
However, in a possible attempt to convince record labels that DRM-free is the way forward, Apple has for the first time introduced a tiered pricing structure. In the past, each iTunes song was sold at a cost of 79p. As of today, tracks will be available at a cost of 59p, 79p, or 99p – a three-tier structure allowing record labels to presumably charge a premium for new releases. Full albums, however, will remain priced at £7.99.
Despite the promising widespread adoption of DRM-free music from the likes of Amazon MP3 and Play.com, Apple’s transition isn’t without faults. Users with existing DRM-protected music will be charged 20p per track to remove any existing restrictions. Furthermore, iTunes’ music will continue to be offered in 256kbps AAC – a format that isn’t as widely compatible as the common MP3.
Apple states that its iTunes Store will begin offering eight million of its 10 million songs in a DRM-free format as of today, and the remaining two million songs will be DRM-free by the end of March.
Finding it hard to find the iPhone Apps you want in the iTunes App Store?
A new service called One Juicer could help. It’s ultra-simple – a website where you register your email address, and specify up to three keywords or phrases to track. For example, ‘games’, or more specific phrases like ‘poker’ or ‘driving’.
Then you’ll get sent email alerts whenever new iPhone apps are released with those keywords.
One Juicer isn’t the only service doing this, though. There’s already the Got Apps service that also offers email alerts, for example.
