XPlay is a drag and drop application created by Mediafour. This third party program allows for easier access of digital music on an iPod and is not supported by Apple. It is notable for allowing Windows computers to use Mac formatted iPods.
A preview version was released in December 2001, with the first official release on June 24, 2002.
The most recent version of the software, released in 2008, with its final update (Version 3.5.1) having been released in April 2010, is XPlay 3, which could be purchased for $29.95, though it is no longer available. This version integrates an iPod with the Windows operating system, allowing for the iPod to be managed using Windows Media Player, Windows Media Center, iTunes, or XPlay. It also allows the user to drag music, image, and video files from a disk directly onto the iPod.

Vuforia is an augmented reality software development kit (SDK) for mobile devices that enables the creation of augmented reality applications. It uses computer vision technology to recognize and track planar images and 3D objects in real time. This image registration capability enables developers to position and orient virtual objects, such as 3D models and other media, in relation to real world objects when they are viewed through the camera of a mobile device. The virtual object then tracks the position and orientation of the image in real-time so that the viewer's perspective on the object corresponds with the perspective on the target. It thus appears that the virtual object is a part of the real-world scene.
The Vuforia SDK supports a variety of 2D and 3D target types including ‘markerless’ Image Targets, 3D Model Target, and a form of addressable Fiducial Marker, known as a VuMark. Additional features of the SDK include 6 degrees of freedom device localization in space, localized Occlusion Detection using ‘Virtual Buttons’, runtime image target selection, and the ability to create and reconfigure target sets programmatically at runtime.
Vuforia provides Application Programming Interfaces (API) in C++, Java, Objective-C++, and the .NET languages through an extension to the Unity game engine. In this way, the SDK supports both native development for iOS, Android, and UWP while it also enables the development of AR applications in Unity that are easily portable to both platforms.
Vuforia has been acquired by PTC Inc. in November 2015 from Qualcomm.
Xfile is a file manager developed by Rixstep, built as a Finder replacement for the Mac OS X operating system. Its features are mostly congruent with those accessible by generic Unix systems.
Some examples of the more advanced features are a consequence of the above. Operating only with generic Unix APIs Xfile is capable of dealing with a wide variety of file systems and not limited to the operating system's native HFS+.
The interface of Xfile is navigational in nature, although Xfile windows can be seen as "document" windows and behave as such.
