If using libgpod through gtkpod only requires the iPhone be   
jailbroken, the above is not true. Jailbreaking your iPhone does not  
 void the warranty, and there is very little chance of bricking it  
by  just jailbreaking it. Bricking used to be an issue when mucking

To jailbreak an iPhone, check out http://ziphone.org/


Hi Tom.  Thanks for the link and clarification.  AFAIK, my iPhone is  
Jailbroken because I'm using it on a Mexican carrier, TelCel and if  
I understand correctly, it would have to be to use the TelCel chip.


Ziphone is a bit slow but I'm going to go through it and see if I can  
find the reason why I'm not able to get a mountable device created.


Thanks again for your help,

ed



You will need either a Windows or Mac to do the Jailbreak though.

I'm already using it with a carrier that isn't yet authorized so I  
have to assume that it is jailbroken but I still can't find a way to  
mount it. It seems that it isn't recoginzed by FreeBSD current as  
being mountable.


Thanks for the warning.

The pags for libgpod (http://www.gtkpod.org/libgpod.html), on which
gtkpod depends, says:

There's also preliminary support for the iPhone and the iPod Touch
 but they must be jailbroken to work.

Whatever that means. :-)


Here we call it un blocked which I assume is synonymous with  
jailbroken but I can't seem to get FreeBSD to recognize it as  
mountable so gtkpod doesn't see it either.


Thanks for your help,

If I recall right from what I've read about it, it's mounted as a sshfs 
or something like that, network based and not usb based.  You just need 
to install openssh and some other programs.
