<\/a>The inability to work with files on the iPhone has been a complaint from day one. The iPhone OS provides no way to interact directly with documents or other files stored on the phone, rendering the device’s owners dependent on application developers to add to their apps methods to work with files. This leads to a confusing situation as each app implements a different method. That’s why the free iPhone Explorer<\/a> is such an exciting program — it brings Explorer- or Finder-like file control to the iPhone owner.<\/p>\nThe program works on both Macs and Windows, so no one is left out in the cold. Once iPhone Explorer is installed, any iPhone or iPod touch is seen as a Flash drive on the computer, and files can be dragged and dropped onto the iPhone\/iPod with ease. Users can create, delete and rename folders to fit any organization scheme desired.<\/p>\n
While iPhone Explorer works on any iPhone or iPod touch, those that have been jailbroken get additional benefits as it’s possible to access the root directory of such phones, allowing for the recovery of email, SMS messages and the address book.<\/p>\n
