doubleTwist is a free alternative to iTunes – but not exclusively to the iPod or the iPhone. It also lets you organize and sync mobile phones, MP3 players, camcorders and cameras.
Easily sync your iTunes playlists, videos and photos with BlackBerry, Sony PSP, Nokia N & E Series, Android phones, Windows Mobile Phones and a handful of other devices – all in one, free software. doubleTwist is available for Windows and Mac users at the moment.
Founded in Oslo, Norway but is now based in San Francisco, doubleTwist Corporation’s team is made up of people from eight different countries, with various languages from Dutch to Japanese. Monique Farantzos and Jon Lech Johansen founded the corporation. Today, the team tests over 200 gadgets for use with doubleTwist, while exchanging feedback with their friends and families.
doubleTwist was established to create a universal media software that would connect consumers with all their media and all their devices, regardless of whether they are online or offline.
We feel that just like you don’t use a different browser for every web site you visit (Firefox to read the NY Times, IE to stream Hulu, Chrome to browse YouTube, etc) you shouldn’t have to use iTunes for Apple products, Nokia software for Nokia phones, Sony software for Sony products, etc. The typical household today has many such devices and there is a need for a simple and powerful software that connects them.
doubleTwist is currently backed up by a number of investors from Asia, Europe and North America, and it proves to be a very promising software. With a growing number of compatible devices, doubleTwist is a great software for those who choose to use only one software for all their gadgets.
