Ecamm updates iPhone Drive with rockin' features

Ecamm Network has released version 1.2 of their iPhoneDrive software. This new version offers a total-rewrite from the version I tried out a few months ago. The updated software allows full read-write access to all public AFC areas of your iPhone or iPod touch storage.
One of the great things Ecamm has done is to offer an on-board media browser. You can scan through your music, TV shows, videos and more and offload just those files you're looking for. iPhoneDrive offers a "Send To iTunes" button that allows you to move that media directly into iTunes.
Another feature allows you to add custom folders. You're no longer limited to creating a single iPhoneDrive folder. Instead, you decide which folders you want to use and you can easily add and retrieve data as needed.
The advanced settings feature allows you to switch from seeing just the "safe" files into seeing every available file, including your manifests and the lock sync files created by iTunes during synchronization. This allows you to choose how you want to interact with your files and adds a nice level of safety.
There isn't much that you can do with iPhoneDrive that you can't do with a hacker tool like iPhuc but iPhoneDrive adds a really beautiful user interface and it simplifies so many tasks you'll want to do--like browsing through music using real names rather than iTunes' cryptic 4-character codes--that it's well worth the nominal ten buck price. And, oh yeah, there's a Photo mode too.
I've been playing with it off and on for a few days and give this a solid five apples out of five. A very good value for the money and a handy, useful tool.
