There is no doubt that iTunes is a bit complex and has some limitations. You can't sync contacts, or convert audio and video files to an iOS-compatible format. The most unbearable is that you need to sync your iPad even you are going to upload only one music to your device.

There are programs, which all appear to do similar things and make similar claims, to help you transfer things between your iOS device and computer. Our Syncios iOS Manager is one of them, so as the MobileGo to iOS. In order to get the full details, read on to learn which iOS-to-computer transfer programs get your eyes. Both of them could give you much more control over your iOS device than iTunes does.

Cons

A bit expensive

MobileGo automatically detects your iPod, iPhone, or iPad when it's connected to your computer, and displays its contents in a column on the left side of the application. You can manage media, playlists, photos, contacts, and SMS, to browse in a larger window on the right side of the application. iTunes users who have yearned to manage their contacts or view their text messages on a big screen will appreciate MobileGo's approach. Its Media, Playlist, Photos, and Contacts tools are a bit more useful, as you can use each of these sections to add content to your device or sync it back to your PC. MobileGo's interface is clean and attractive, and its large icons make it easy to figure out how to accomplish all of these tasks.

MobileGo also includes a Toolkit, from where you can perform some additional tasks, including Copy iDevice to iTunes, Export Music to PC, Convert Video to MP3 and Convert Music to iOS-supported format. But it lacks an option for converting video to an iOS-compatible device.

MobileGo allows you to transfer contacts from Outlook to your iPad/iPhone/iPod. This will be handy for users who rely on Outlook. Easily to import/export contacts to/from vCard files, Outlook Express, Windows Address Book, Windows Mail and Outlook 2003/2007/2010.

MobileGo for iOS is available in a free trial version, but the full version costs $40 -- a hefty price when you consider that iTunes is free. MobileGo for iOS includes many features, including a robust contact manager and the ability to transfer content between 2 iOS devices, that make it worth its price.
