After trying dozens of programs to backup and transfer my ipod touch music,apps and photos to my computer i had almost given up finding the right software and to tell the truth i've been getting pretty tired of downloading and deleting software after finding out it only did part of what i wanted it to do or to find out that i can only transfer something like 100 songs then i have to upgrade and buy the full version to be able to transfer the rest, i can finally say to you that you can now throw away all those applications you've downloaded.

You only need one program and it truly is free with no catch whatsoever and what little nugget of software gold am i speaking of? Im talking about Sharepod, im completely in love with this tiny little app, it's gone above and veyond all the others i've tried and i really dont need itunes anymore except for my apps, watching videos and listening and buying music, the important stuff like backup, transfering all or part of my library to my computer, restoring and adding and editing playlists among other things.

Check it out and im positive you'll agree that it's the best freeware ipod and iphone software out there by far.

SharePod is easy to use and works! Heres some of the main features:

• Add & remove music and videos from your iPod
• Add, remove and edit playlists
• Add & remove album art
• View and backup photos
• Copy music, videos and playlists from your iPod to PC
• Import music/videos into your iTunes library, including playlists and ratings
• Tag editing
• Drag n' drop to and from Explorer
• Simple, clean interface
• Quick to load and use with no unnessary complicated features
• Support for iPhone and iTouch (Thanks to Nikias Bassen, Paul Sladen, Jonathan Beck, and Christophe Fergeau for making this possible)
• Nano 5G support

And whats more, SharePod is completely free! SharePod was designed from the start to be lightweight, quick and responsive, it has all (well hopefully most...!) of the features you need and none of the features you dont.

A couple of weeks ago, the first iPhone worm appeared, spreading on jailbroken devices with the SSH application installed (vulnerability being the fact that many users haven’t changed the default root password). As far as worms go, this one was quite benign, merely “rickrolling” users; i.e., changing the background image on the device to an image of Rick Astley.

Now, according to early reports of strange activity by Dutch ISP XS4ALL, and later confirmed by Sophos, there’s a new worm in the wild, and this one is far more malicious.

The new worm is called “Duh” or “Ikee.B”, and it uses the exact same vulnerability as the first one. The fix is thus identical – change the root password in the SSH application to something other than the default, which is “alpine”.

Failing to do so might result in very serious consequences. According to Sophos, Ikee.B is “designed to connect to a server in Lithuania and to follow orders from remote hackers.” It can find vulnerable iPhones on a wide range of IP addresses, including IPs in several different countries, for example the Netherlands, Portugal, Australia, Austria, and Hungary. Furthermore, it changes the root password on the iPhone to “ohshit” (as discovered by Paul Ducklin, head of technology in Sophos Asia Pacific.)

Users who haven’t jailbroken their iPhone or haven’t installed the SSH application are not affected by this vulnerability.
