Double Twist for Android

Recently installed an app called Double Twist on my Vibrant. This allows you to wirelessly sync your Android phone to your iTunes library.
What it consists of is 2 apps on your phone (double twist airsync which is currently $0.99 on the Android Market for the first 10,000 downloads, regularly $4.99. And a double twist player, $Free) that syncs with a free Double Twist app that you install on your computer.
The computer app not only hooks into your iTunes library but into any HD that’s currently attached to your machine. It has a familiar iTunes looking interface which allows you to select playlists, videos and podcasts for syncing to your phone.
The phone interface is straightforward and easy to use/understand. The first thing you’ll need to do is enable your phone’s WiFi so that it turns on and off along with the app (Settings section). This allows you to pair your phone to your computer via a private code generated by the phone app. Syncing is easily accomplished by selecting what playlist/video/podcast you’d like then hitting the sync button. Presto it sync’s via WiFi. No need to atach your USB anymore (unless you’re recharging).
One limitation is that it will not transfer any DRM locked items. So if you didn’t iTunes Plus some of your older content you wont be able to sync it to your Android.
