iPodSync Review
Works Decent, Could Be Better
|
You can buy it at RegNow for that price.
-Easy To Use -Does what it was designed to do -Worked well with my iPod (Classic) easily -Interface was a little boring
-Only worked for Outlook -Didn't work for others such as Thunderbird or Opera's Mail Browser so I had to convert it to Outlook first -Didn't have advanced controls
First of all this product does what it claims it can do, which is good but it does have a few things which I found a bit aggravating. For one thing, everything had to be in the correct format. For the pictures, for example, I found that the picture format had to be Jpeg or tiff. I had a few .bmp's which didn't work, and I had a few other obscure formats from my camera which weren't able to be transferred.
Another thing that I found to be a problem was that I wasn't able to configure the more advanced settings of things to my iPod. The program was designed for the more simple user, and didn't cater to the needs of someone who actually knew what they were doing. I haven't seen any other progrmas exactly like this one so I can't offer any direct alternatives, but I would probably prefer to use a program like Rockbox as an alternative, and then installing any firmware addons along with it. However, if you are not that good with computers, this program is probably the best and easiest to use, and the one that you are looking for.
If you are a simple user, this is for you. If you want to do only what the product specs claim you can do, then this is a good product. However, if you are aiming for a product which can be configured and manipulated to suit your own set of needs, iPodSync can be a bit of a pain.
