MegaPhone now PhoneView: an app by any other name would smell as sweet

When you want to get the most out of your iPhone, there’s one app you turn to: iPhoneDrive. Er, wait. MegaPhone. Aw, bugger. PhoneView. Look: we don’t care much what it’s called; what we do care about is the fact that it lets us do things with our iPhone and our Mac that would be otherwise impossible.

Aside from a brand new name, the latest version of Ecamm’s iPhone utility has a few new tricks up its sleeves: you can now add and edit notes without having to reboot the phone after each individual change (nice!), you can search most data with an iTunes-style search box, and there’s full access to the iPhone’s contact list. They’ve also fixed a number of minor bugs and tweaked minor features, so now your exported photos will have the correct creation date, and file and folder modification dates will now be preserved.

All that for just under $20. If you’d like to try before you buy, you can grab a fully functional 7 day demo from their site.
