I tried the website on the home screen tip for the iPhone, but I get a different icon. Any ideas?

I have been waiting for a way to get Ubuntu to sync up with my iPhone. This is great news. You MAC snobs: Macs a good product hands down but you are shackled by what Apple gives you. Linux allows me to keep my favorite Thinkpad for a while longer and that's money in my bank account and not Microsoft's or Apple's. And, how many dozen iPhones would have been sold if they worked only with a Mac OS? The OS trolling doesnt work because there were better out there before many of you were born: Ask Steve Jobs about NeXT. Developers: thanks again for finding a Linux solution.

@ermax18: First, stop feeding the trolls! Second, OSX is based on Unix, not Linux. Close, but no cigar.

"This is good news for all 3 users of Linux! LOL. But I am luckily one of the 6 that run OS X so I could care less about this announcement? Why do people waste time on that operating system? I guess for the same reason that people buy into “ionic Macs” and believe they are more secure. LOL."

BTW, OSX is based on... guess what..... Linux. So apparently your hero Steve is also wasting his time.

I personally have been waiting for this functionality for a long time. I've used gtkpod and banshee/amarok in the past to sync older generation ipods. Unfortunatly it appears as though they write the db in a different format, because when syncing that way, integration with my Kenwood Car Stereo becomes unreliable. I've been a windows guest in vmware to sync, which sucks even more than using itunes on a windows whitebox.

This is good news for all 3 users of Linux! LOL. Why do people waste time on that operating system when OS X exists? I guess for the same reason that people buy into "ionic bracelets" and believe in astrology. LOL.

Wait a min I thought that iTunes was the melting ice in hell. That's what re tard steve jobs said. But he doesn't know that all pc users who use iTunes have an iPod and are obligated to sync with it. I personaly hate iTunes. It's slow it's miserable and will never use it unless I need new music on my iPhone. Lol or update it. And it automatically installs safari??? Is apple out of their minds??? And what the hell is bonjour???

Wonderful! They seem to be very close for full music use. Pictures already may be moved over to your linux machine.

@ Fanboy. Yup. Decent windows sync client for iPhone that works and plays well with other windows software is desperately needed. iTunes is truly awful.

Oh man what I would do to get Floola working on my Nano 5g and iPhone 3G. Taking 15mins just to put a 2 hour track on my phone is ridicules. iTunes has to be most bloated inefficient software know to man. I think it even tops Adobe products. I miss being able to run Floola, add a track then be done in 30secs.
