Ecamm Network has introduced PhoneView 2.0, the Mac desktop companion for the iPhone, formerly known as MegaPhone.
PhoneView gives iPhone and iPod touch users easy access to iTunes media, photos, notes, contacts, SMS and call history data stored on their device. The software also enables use of the device as mass storage for Mac files and folders.
The release also makes the Notes function more useful, allowing users toadd these to the iPhone or iPod touch Notes program by dragging text files, Word docs, PDF files, and others into the PhoneView browser. Version 2.0 also brings searching, access to the contact list, and automatic archiving of SMS and call history data.
"With PhoneView's Notes features, the iPhone Notepad gets a whole lot more useful," says Ken Aspeslagh, Ecamm Network's iPhone specialist. "Not only can you retrieve iPhone Notes by simply dragging them out of PhoneView, you can actually drag in text files for reading and editing on the go."
The new SMS and call history archive feature is completely automatic. Aspeslagh explains: "The iPhone only stores your 100 most recent calls. With PhoneView, call history and SMS messages are backed up each time the iPhone is docked, so all of your call history data is kept safe and sound."
A seven-day demo is available. The software costs $19.95.
