Re: [Banshee-List] iPhone Support in Banshee

[Alan McGovern <alan mcgovern gmail com>]

Alternatively bindings to libgpod should do the same job. It's not  
that the banshee team, or anyone, doesn't want to support iPhones,  
iPods, ipads. It's just they're an incredible burden to support and  
the next apple firmware update could easily lock out 3rd party  
software for months again. That doesn't make it sound like a great  
idea to invest days/weeks in enhancing support or them
