PhoneView is a desktop companion that fills in the holes left by iTunes for any iPhone user on the Mac (sorry Microsoft faithful). Some of PhoneView’s features are as follows:

• Use your iPhone as a disk
• Play and export music
• Create, edit and save notes
• Search and save SMS/MMS messages
• Download camera photos
• Save voicemails
• View and export call history
• Play and save voice memos
• Export synced photos
• Export Contacts

We often see folks in TiPb’s forums looking for more syncing functionality than what iTunes provides. Could this be for you? PhoneView is available to demo for free and $19.95 to purchase a license. Be sure to check out this video for a quick tour of PhoneView’s features and functionality.

PhoneView by Ecamm [$19.95 - Web link] is a Mac app that lets you get to iTunes media, photos, notes, contacts, SMS and call history data stored on your iPhone (or iPod touch), and also send files and folders back for storage on your device. What’s in the latest update?

Along with iPhone OS 3.0 compatibility, version 2.2 also adds faster note editing and fast access to the iPhone’s open browser windows, bookmarks and browser history.

Since Apple doesn’t provide any way to get some of that data off the iPhone, Mac users who want to keep call logs, SMS histories, etc. documented for posterity might find this of particular interest.

If you try it out, let us know how it works for you!
