Nokia PC Suite Equivalent for iPhone
Hello
Anyone who has used a Nokia phone will have enjoyed the Nokia PC Suite. Not only did it sync calendars and contacts, but it also had desktop apps for sending SMS, MMS and editing contacts and calendar entries on the phone itself. (Not to mention Windows Explorer integration so you could "browse" the phone's internal and external storage.)
Now that synchronisation with Outlook seems so difficult and error prone, simple tools such as a calendar and contacts editor would really prove useful. I read somewhere that this would impose phone firmware issues, but that's nonsense. Not much more functionality would be required over that already used by iTunes to sync contacts and calendars. These apps could be built into iTunes "Manage Contacts", "Manage Calendar" - just reads/writes to the connected handset.
Is such a thing ever likely to be produced or can someone recommend a third party product that already offers similar functionality?
