Hi All, I'd like to develop some wIndows apps using C# that similar to iTune. The app is similar to iTune where it updates information on the iPhone whenever the phone is connected to a windows-based PC/laptop.

From Apple Development Center, my understanding is that I would need the "Accessories SDK" but looking for your guidance on:

  • How to start
  • What do I need (SDK, ...)

I am using Visual Studio 2008 as development tool.

Thanks in advance.

There's also i-FunBox: http://i-funbox.com/ and PhoneView: http://www.ecamm.com/mac/phoneview/ , among others, for transferring files to and from the iPhone.

Thanks for all of your help.Sorry I should have been more specific. I wasn't thinking of another iTune, file explorer or Media Player. The app I have in mind is more of updating contacts on iPhone directly without going through Mobile Me/Exchange.Also, not looking for an already made app. I'm learning to develop iPhone utilities on Windows.

Thanks Igor. I searched Banshee before but the last time I checked, they're still working on WIndows version. I'll check again.
