The iPhone OS provides no way to interact directly with documents or other files stored on the phone, rendering the device&#8217;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&#8217;s why the free <a href=\"http:\/\/www.iphone-explorer.com\/\">iPhone Explorer<\/a> is such an exciting program &#8212; it brings Explorer- or Finder-like file control to the iPhone owner.<\/p>\n<p>The 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<p>While iPhone Explorer works on any iPhone or iPod touch, those that have been jailbroken get additional benefits as it&#8217;s possible to access the root directory of such phones, allowing for the recovery of email, SMS messages and the address book.<\/p>\n<div id=\"inline-related-posts-56865\" class=\"widget inline-related-posts alignleft clearfix\">\n<div class=\"widget-wrap\">\n<div class=\"widget-title-wrap clearfix\">\n<h2 class=\"widget-title\">More on <span><a class=\"category-link\" href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/topic\/apple\" title=\"Apple\">Apple<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<ul class=\"inline-related-posts\">\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-related-posts-article\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/2010\/02\/16\/the-changing-smartphone-landscape\/\">The Changing Smartphone&nbsp;Landscape<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"brand-icon jk-run\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\" title=\"Visit: jkOnTheRun - This is a description.\">Gadget Gurus<\/a><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-related-posts-article\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/2010\/02\/12\/apple-vs-google-whos-evil\/\">Apple vs. Google: Who&#8217;s&nbsp;Evil?<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"brand-icon jk-run\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\" title=\"Visit: jkOnTheRun - This is a description.\">Gadget Gurus<\/a><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-related-posts-article\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/2010\/02\/11\/mobiletechroundup-197-buzzing-about-swype-and-skyfire\/\">MobileTechRoundup 197 &#8212; Buzzing About Swype and&nbsp;Skyfire<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"brand-icon jk-run\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\" title=\"Visit: jkOnTheRun - This is a description.\">Gadget Gurus<\/a><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-related-posts-article\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/2010\/02\/10\/iphone-informer-touching-the-iphone-this-week-15\/\">iPhone Informer &#8212; Touching the iPhone This&nbsp;Week<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"brand-icon jk-run\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\" title=\"Visit: jkOnTheRun - This is a description.\">Gadget Gurus<\/a><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<div class=\"widget-bottom clearfix\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The iPhone Explorer has major implications for the iPad, as lack of file control in the iPhone OS used in the iPad is considered a drawback to that device.
