On January 27th 2010, Apple announced the iPad. The iPad works exactly like the iPod Touch and iPhone as it synchronizes with iTunes. This is really important because syncing with iTunes means you will most likely not be able to retrieve your music, podcasts, videos and photos from your iPad in case of a computer crash. On my download page, I have put some links to useful iPod and iPhone tools that allow you to transfer your iPod, iPod Touch and iPhone to iTunes as EphPod is no longer up-to-date. My personal experience shows makes me believe that Apple will change the music and videos management system in the iPad, iPod Touch & iPhone that will render the current backup tools incompatible.with as consequence an incompatibility with the current backup tools. When the iPad becomeswill be available, I will add anthe iPad compatibility mention next to the tools. Of course, Be sure that the list will be updated with the best iPod, iPod Touch & iPhone and iPad backup tools!

For many years, EphPod has been one of the best free iPod backup and management tools. It still receives a lot of attention and downloads, and is used with many older iPods successfully. However, with the advent of the new signing that Apple imposes on its newer iPod Touch and iPhone devices, EphPod really isn't the best choice for your latest-and-greatest devices (defined here as any Apple iPod/iPhone released after 2006). I have put links on my downloads page to the other software that I think are the best iPod/iPhone management tools today. With them, you can copy and transfer your media to and from your iPod Touch and iPhones to your hard drive--just like EphPod does with older first and second generation iPod devices. The other great aspect of these tools is that they can help you manage your iPod and iPhone devices without needing iTunes.
