iPhone

[Martin Aumueller]

Hi,

Amarok and libgpod already support the iphone (and the ipod touch, which is 
very similar). The thing that is lacking is easy filesystem level access to 
iphones. Now, this can be only achieved using ssh/fuse or samba or ... via 
wifi (which is slow) on a hacked/jailbroken iphone (which many people don't 
want to do). Unfortunately, there is not yet a way to do it via the usb 
cable. This is the part that is missing.

Some folks started to reverse engineer this:

These are the people that should be supported for better iphone support in 
Amarok/Linux.
