Windows only: Microsoft’s free Phone Data Manager syncs contacts, music, pictures, and videos between your phone and your desktop and the web. More specifically, the contacts are synced to the internet with Windows Live (meaning you’ll need a Windows Live login), and the media is synced with any folder you choose on your desktop. Microsoft Phone Data Manager syncs over USB or Bluetooth, and Microsoft has published a list of supported and unsupported phones. The list only includes phones they’ve actually tested, meaning if yours isn’t on either list, you may still be in luck. The Windows-only application is currently in beta and is free to download. We don’t have a supported phone on hand, so let’s hear how it works for you in the comments.

Windows only: Free application Artweaver isn’t just a Photoshop alternative like GIMP,
but a fair clone of Photoshop itself. While Artweaver lacks the polish
and advanced feature sets of Photoshop, the menus are laid out like
they are in Photoshop and the tools function close enough that use is
intuitive. The programs are so similar, in fact, that seasoned
Photoshop users will find themselves wondering why a feature is
suddenly missing from the menu. While it isn’t a true replacement for
Photoshop, Artweaver’s feature set is robust; it includes layer
management, image cloning, a history function, transparency, pen tablet
support, and a host of the common filters in Photoshop. Artweaver is
available as a full install or in a portable version. Artweaver is a
free download for Windows only.
