MOBILedit review: put your PC and phone in sync |
April 18, 2014
You might think of your smartphone and your PC as two entirely separate entities, never needing to cross paths. Or, perhaps you use the desktop software that comes free with your phone, finding that it meets all of your syncing needs. However you choose to sync—or not sync—your smartphone, MOBILedit should have you rethinking your decision. This comprehensive tool offers almost everything you need to manage your smartphone from your computer.MOBILedit works with almost any kind of mobile phone, from the most basic flip model to today’s most advanced smartphones. It connects to your handset via USB, Bluetooth, or IrDA. Before connecting your phone, you’ll need to install the phone’s drivers to your PC, but this step is clearly explained during the installation process. MOBILedit also connects to Android phones and iPhones via Wi-Fi, though to do so, you’ll need to install a mobile app on the device—and this is where I ran into my first minor snag. MOBILedit clearly instructs you to install the “MOBILedit Connector” from your phone’s application market, and while it’s easily located in Google Play, you won’t find any such app in Apple’s App Store. There, it’s called “MOBILedit Lite,” and it wasn’t immediately apparent that this was the app I needed to setup a WiFi connection. Once that issue was resolved, I had no problems connecting my phones (I tested it with an iPhone 4S, a Motorola Droid Bionic, and a Samsung Galaxy) to my desktop via MOBILedit.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
