Update: iTunes 9 & iPhone firmware 3.1.1 compatibility

As many of you, I updated my iPhone to firmware 3.1.1. I also updated to iTunes 9.
As usual, Apple brought some improvements that make iPod managers obsolete.

Below is an outlook of the iPod manager compatibility:

Congrats to CopyTrans Manager that is the only one in this test to be compatible with the latest iTunes 9 and iPhone firmware 3.1.1 .

I am expecting the others to be compatible soon.

Update: iPhone firmware 3.0 compatibility

On June 17th, Apple released new iPhone firmware 3.0 that comes with a lot of features (MMS; Voice Memo; Cut, Copy, Paste; etc.).

Unfortunately lots of iPod managers became useless with iPods Touch and iPhones running on the latest firmware.

What is the situation three months later?

Below is an outlook of the iPod manager compatibility:

As you notice, just a few of them are compatible now.
Besides, since my last post, some iPod managers like CopyTrans Manager and Sharepod have been updated. That's why I will post a new complete test soon.
