It’s been nearly a year since DVD Jon made some noise about doubleTwist by promising to “liberate” iTunes purchases from their DRM, and while that’s no longer particularly relevant in light of Apple’s decision to go DRM-free, we’re actually really digging that newly refocused public beta of the doubleTwist app, which promises to seamlessly manage all your devices from a restricted interface. Think of it as iTunes meets Windows 7 Device Stage with a dash of social network integration and you’ll get it: you just tell DT where you want your media to go — your phone, Facebook, your PSP — and it’ll handle all the encoding, conversion, and uploading steps for you. Sadly, the iPod, Iphone, Zune and Windows Mobile aren’t supported yet, but the rest of the device list is pretty decent: it includes the BlackBerry Pearl, Storm, and Curve, the G1, Sony Ericsson Cybershot and Walkman phones, the Kindle, Nokia N and E-series phones, and most digital cameras and flash-based camcorders. Of course, iTunes video is still wrapped in DRM, so we’ll see whether DVD Jon has any tricks left up his sleeve to prepare it play nice with non-Apple devices, but for a first shot out of the gate it looks like extremely promising — too poor it’s Mac-only for now.
