Tried Phone Disk on Win XP with my iPad (iOS 3.2.1). The explorer menu looks like it does in the screenshots on the site, but most of the folders have nothing in them. You can access your photos (which you already could using any normal file explorer) as well as your music and videos (which are hidden to normal file explorers). Of course your music and videos are iDevice organized, so all the filenames and folders are random.

Phone Disk does not give you access to any app file space, which was the only reason I gave it a try. To me it seems like it gives you just as much access as the other available programs such as iFunBox. Looks like jailbreaking is still the only way to get reall access to an iDevice filesystem.
