Hopefully there is someone here who knows something about binary plistfiles. When an iPhone's firmware is upgraded in iTunes, a framework calledMobileSync creates a backup of the iPhone's data files. The backup is stored in .mdbackup files, in ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/<targetId>/I've found that the .mdbackup files are Apple binary plists (the magic is bplist00, followed by 0xD4), however any attempts to read the files give the error "Conversion of data failed. The file is not UTF-8, or in the encodingspecified in XML header if XML."
The plists are encoded in base-64. You can use this to decode them: http://code.google.com/p/iphone-backup-decoder/ (Found via Craig Hockenberry on Twitter)
