TouchDrive

TouchDrive is a handy piece of software that allows iPhone or iPod owners to access their Apple gadgets straight from Windows Explorer.

In plain English, TouchDrive creates a new drive in My Computer that provides access to any connected iPhone or iPod, allowing to edit the content just like on a typical hard disk.

Extremely useful in case you're tired of using iTunes, TouchDrive is pretty easy to use, as the whole process comes down to installation. Once you successfully install the package, the new drive should appear in My Computer, providing access to the connected Apple device.

There are no configuration settings, but you should keep in mind that iTunes is still a must have. While it provides a completely separate interface, TouchDrive still needs iTunes to establish a connection to any iPhone or iPod, all through the old-fashioned Windows Explorer.

Since you're browsing the iPhone just like any other drive, you're allowed to view, edit, copy or delete files with a single mouse click, so it's recommended to pay attention to every action because it could easily damage the device.

What's more, TouchDrive works without a jailbreak, which can only be good news for those who own an iPhone and don't want to jailbreak their device.

All things considered, TouchDrive is a nice piece of software, but it doesn't do anything else than to show the iPhone content in Windows Explorer. iTunes remains the top product when it comes to managing Apple devices, but TouchDrive can still be useful to a handful of owners.
