Today, for legal reasons, we are making several major updates to many of our programs. The changes can be summarized as follows, and we've also posted an official press release here with more information about these changes.

• iPhone Explorer is being renamed to "iExplorer."
• The logo for what is now called "iExplorer" has been updated.
• The logos for Pod to PC and Pod to Mac have been updated.
• The logo for Phone Disk has been updated.
• meta-iPod is being renamed to "meta-Tunes."
• The logo for what is now called "meta-Tunes" has been updated.

iPhone Explorer, now iExplorer, typically sees nearly 10,000 vista daily and we really don't want to lose this following due to the confusion over a name change. Furthermore, we now need to climb the Google rankings with the term "iExplorer," and need your help to do this. So bloggers, Facebook users, Google+ users, website owners, and those who tweet - please help spread the word our the name change.

Thank you all very much for your support. Please e-mail any questions or concerns with regards to these changes to chrisdevor (at) macroplant (dot) com.

We're very excited to release updates to our Windows versions of Phone Disk and iPhone Explorer. In Phone Disk 1.2.0.0 and iPhone Explorer 2.1.4.0, access to the app directories on iOS devices has been restored. This update is especially important for those people who were seeing the error message pretaining to the bad CoreFoundation.dll file. Many other stability fixes have been added, especially to Phone Disk.

Pod to Mac now shares the exact same, finely tuned connection backend as iPhone Explorer (Mac) and Phone Disk (Mac). If you've had any issues before related to copying files or connecting an iPhone/touch/Pad, this update should clear it up. Plus whatever future updates we make to that connection code, will show up quickly and seamlessly in all three Mac apps.
