There are plenty of applications that will let you copy content into and out of your iDevice, look around, I'm sure you will find them. |
Uhm, I guess you just answered your own question about why some "hate" iTunes.
I am well aware of the two apps you linked, but neither is any help if I want to transfer a few songs or other media from my office computer onto my iPhone (which syncs with my home computer).
It shouldn't be such a chore, if there was regular USB access to the device. But Apple has made it into an extremely hard undertaking.
There was one way of getting around this on the Mac, but Apple locked it with the latest i-OS update (3.1.3).
And I am NOT talking about DRM-ed content, but about regular, non-protected music.
Apple simply wants to make it hard enough, so that most will click "buy."

As far as photo management, I personally would not go near iPhoto. It is another idiotic scheme which places your photos within various folders, tagged and distributed in accordance with such proprietary scheme.
I had an iPhoto database get corrupted, and left me with thousands of photos strewn around random folders, with the date of EVERY photo hardcoded as the date of the database crash.
