Linux users have been a bit dissapointed since the release of iPhone Firmware 2.0+. Since then they have been unable to synch wirelessly. The problem is the encryption of the library database. Read on for a howto.
What you need to do is edit the file /System/Library/Lockdown/Checkpoint.xml. In that file you need to change the DBVersion-Key to 2 or 3 instead of the default 4. By doing this you will be able to use any application based upon libgpod.
more info: synch with Ubuntu by PwnPlayer and synching with Amarok.
