How do I load mp3s onto my iPhone in F12 ?
Is there a way to use an iPhone as a data modem via Bluetooth ?
Is there a way to have a Bluetooth phone operate with F12 like it does with Microsoft Sync in a car ?
Thanks

Here's how I put music on my iPhone from F12:
1) Install VirtualBox from http://www.virtualbox.org/. You cannot use the "OSE" version. 2) Install Windows XP in a virtual machine. 3) Install iTunes in the Windows XP machine.
It cannot be done directly from Linux.

Executive summary: you can't. Unlike many phones, the iPhone doesn't behave as a simple disk drive. There's no way to mount it, the connection protocol is secret, and Apple have no interest in supporting Linux. You could use a VM running Windows of course, but it needs to be one that supports USB devices (see recent thread on this list).
Alternatively, you could jailbreak the phone and copy files using scp. I don't know if the phone will then recognize them as something it can play, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Tethering can be done on jailbroken phones or on some very limited set of carriers blessed by Apple.

I have no idea what that means.

I was able to use gtkpod[1] on a jailbroken iphone to transfer music, manage playlists, photos, etc.

Apple and AT&T say they will eventually support tethering, but not for a while yet, AFAIK (and it wouldn't surprise me if there was an upcharge).

Carriers in the UK do allow tethering, and of course they charge for it.

I was under the impression that gtkpod didn't yet support the iPhone. The webpage doesn't appear to mention it explicitly. Glad to see I was wrong.

My sense is that support is still unofficial; but I did have some success, nevertheless.

I have an iPhone 3Gs, and I can't get it to work with gtkpod.
It mounts on the desktop as "Apple, Inc. iPhone" but that's all.
I'm running FC-11 updated (x86_64).

From the Banshee FAQ:
Does Banshee support iPhones or iPod Touch devices? No. These devices are very different from iPods and support for them has not been undertaken yet.

According to the gtkpod Help doc (under Troubleshooting) the iPhone and iPod Touch can only be accessed via sshfs, meaning you have to jailbreak them.
Somewhat OT: I recently bought a Pay-And-Go iPhone from O2 in the UK and was delighted to find that they will unlock it on payment of a fee (15 pounds). This appears to be in response to competition from Vodaphone and Orange, which recently started selling iPhones. Since my main motivation for unlocking was to use other Sim cards, I'll probably avoid the jailbreak route for now and use MediaMonkey under a VM to transfer my media content. On my netbook it's fast and functional where iTunes is molasses slow and bloated. Of course you can't use it for a full sync, but that wasn't the question.

There is an interesting post about iphone and ipod touch being synced with fuse/gvfs on ubuntu without jailbreaking the device:

I could not get mine to work on opensuse. Seems a critical part of it is which firmware the device is using. Gustav.

---- just a point of reference... I actually use my Windows computer with iTunes to manage my iPod instead of using Linux and use Media Monkey (nice program btw) to manage artwork/idtags and use ITDB (iTunes Data Base) to clue iTunes into the changes made by Media Monkey (I'm obsessive but I have a lot of CD's).
For some reason that I have never spent any time trying to figure out, iTunes is extremely slow to sync mp3 files but very fast to sync m4a files. I wouldn't have known this except that my daughter gave me a few mp3 files which I was watching when they were syncing and I was shocked at the speed difference. If you 'convert' them to m4a, they will get loaded very fast. I suspect that Apple does some mini-conversion to mp3 files when it puts them on an iPod.

Interesting. It seems to use libiphone, which is available in the Fedora repo. Might be worth looking at.
