Review: iPhone Backup Extractor

For the past few months, ever since I first bricked my iPhone actually (which has happened a numerous amount of times), I have been on the lookout of an app on how to extract the backups that iTunes make of your iPhone/iPod touch. So I recently tweeted about my problems, and a fellow twitter(er) (and apple expert), Shawin, suggested I use a program called the iPhone Backup Extractor, free to download with limited features and $25 for a full 1 year license which include the all the program features, updates and email support. A little steep in my opinion but everything comes at a price these days…

On to the review now. A relatively small download at ~530kb, the program runs instantly without any sort of installation. At first (and quite annoyingly), you are always presented with a screen where you have accept a license. It would have been better if it was possible to only have to come across this type of screen only at on the first boot.

After accepting the licence, you are presented with a screen displaying all the available backups that are currently present in the default folder in which iTunes saves the backups.

This Screen takes quite some time to show up since the program has to connect with its servers to check for update(which are quite regular) and to also to check for the available backups currently in your PC

After having chosen your desired backup, the program analyses it. The analyzing time varies anywhere between <15>

After the analysis is over, you are presented with 2 types of restores. With the first type you can restore all your Photos, Contacts, SMS history, Call History, Notes and Calendar entries. In the second type of restore you will be presented with the following screen:

As you can see, with file restore type 2 (also known as manual restore), you can choose whichever files you want.

Restoring about 800 files can take up to about 1 minute.

Once restored, all that is left to do is close the program and view all the restored files.

Once restored, you will find them in the folder where you had chosen earlier. As you can see, all the folders can be opened using excel.

Note: Once the extraction is done, the extracted backup will still be available on iTunes thus you don’t actually lose any data.

All In all, the Iphone backup extractor is an ingenious idea and is already very stable with stability releases coming out pratically every week. Available as free download with a 1 file extract limit, one can always try the program tho it might be a little steep at $25 but this is a great solution for saving all your data on non-jailbroken iphones.

Verdict: 5/5(Highly Recommended)

Sony Ericsson MW600 Review

If you're someone who regularly finds themselves driving, or cycling, or skiing, or cooking, or cleaning, or doing anything - for that matter - which requires your hands and at least a portion of your concentration, then you'll know the value of a Bluetooth headset. But in the more energetic of the aforementioned pursuits, you'll find that a regular ol' one-eared headset won't do. They fall out. When you're halfway down a Colorado piste, or leaning over your stew, the last thing you want that little bit of expensive plastic to do is fall out. Enter Sony Ericsson's MW600 - a teeny-tiny device with a big clip that lets you turn any pair of headphones into a Bluetooth headset. But is it worth shelling out your hard-earned cash for? Do you really need the MW600 in your life? Look down at your little finger on your left hand. The MW600 is about the same size as that. It has a clip on the back that reaches two-thirds of the w...

world top panasonic products

Panasonic introduced a new GPS navigation system at IFA 2007 for the European market called Strada CN-GP50N . The device has a huge screen and a good price at 400€. As opposed to its strong competition in the field, such as TomTom and Garmin, Panasonic decided to focus its experience on the video and audio features of CN-GP50N which made this device more of an entertainment center rather than just plain old GPS navigation. The display on CN-GP50N measures 5″ – leaving their competition 0.7″ behind – hoping to attract consumers who are looking into watching videos in their vehicle. Panasonic incorporates maps of 37 European countries, including 1.3 million points of interest and even 3D city maps of certain locations and landmarks. For upgrades to the maps Strada CN-GP50N supports SD cards, but it can also be connected to using the USB port on the device. Some other high-end features of the device also include Smart Assist which comes into to play GPS signals are weak, the bluetooth ...
