Synchronizing all your contacts, calendar items, bookmarks, music, and photos from your Mac to your iPhone is just about as simple a process as you could ask for. But, that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for improvement. One thing that would make the sync-ing process even simpler and hassle-free is the addition of a wireless iTunes synchronization solution.
Well, Mac developer francisois agrees. He’s working on iPhone iSync to bring WiFi-based iTunes synchronization to the iPhone. So far, iPhone iSync will sync a specified folder on your Mac to your iPhone (and even iPod Touch) over a WiFi connection. The logical extension of this software would be to bring iTunes-based wireless sync to the iPhone. francisois says that he’s working to make the iPhone iSync software work with the current version of iTunes. And, to his credit, he says that he’s “reached a breakthrough that has allowed me to synchronize my own iPod Touch over wi-fi with an older version of iTunes.” Compatibility with iTunes 7.5 should be on the horizon, which should see music, photos, contacts, and bookmarks wirelessly synchronized to the iPhone.
He’s looking for help in breaking down the walls to iTunes 7.5, so if you’re handy with “shell scripts and ssh and especially iTunes library access,” francisois could use your help.
Jailbroken iPhones can grab the iPhone iSync software from Google Code.
We’ll stay on top of any developments in wireless iPhone synchronization, stay tuned.
