iPhone 3G support?

I'm hating having to sync my music through itunes, too, believe me. :'(
Also hoping to hear something. :)

Hi All,
I did upgrade my 8Gig iTouch from 1.1.4 to 2.0 (jailbroken).
Results: I cannot use MC12 anymore: My sync screen within MC12 (526) always refers to 500 Mo of which 350+ are already used.
Doing some research with SSH and WinSCP, I found that MC 12 may point to a wrong folder to transfer music, a lone MP3 was sitting there unknown (/iTunes_Control/Music). Most likely in the partition reserved for apps and OS.
Most probably a non documented change?
For reference, I tried iTune to transfer files and found that the files are in:
/private/var/mobile/Media/iTunes_Control/Music
Hope that help.
As for others, most of my files are FLAC and APE, so I do rely on MC for transfers.
I am confident that our magicians will find the trick!
?

My 16gb white iPhone was ordered on Saturday from an AT&T store... They said Apple was giving them a maximum timeframe of 21 days currently, however, most reports I've read show they're shipping them quicker, particularly for the less-popular white variety. Not really sure why the white is less popular (it shows fingerprints and scratches less), but whatever.... I'll take it.
I'm bummed that I'll have to deal with iTunes for a while. I've never even had iTunes installed on any of my Windows machines, but I'll have to now to get access to the App store.
I figure it'll be relatively easy to have MC use a generic handheld that points to a "cache-like" folder on my hard-drive, and automatically converts there. However...
I was setting up my wife's new iPod Nano (I get a phone and she gets a tiny little powder-blue 8GB Nano, which is perfect for her) and a great thought occurred to me.
While you get the new iPhone/Touch figured out it would be really cool if there were a special option when adding a "generic" Handheld called "emulate iPod". Selecting this option would have the "handheld" in MC provide all the same exact conversion options as it normally would for an iPod. You would also need a manually set "size limit" for the folder, so that you can see it fill up just like on a regular device. Then, I can use MC to cause it to sync 14-15GB to a folder on my hard drive, and I can set iTunes to just monitor that folder (with some third-party utilities, natch) and use it to sync my iPhone and still use MC to get all the sweet conversion goodness that I get with my wife's Nano. It'll be a two or three step process, so native MC support would be preferred, of course, but it would serve us for the time being. Plus, it would "future proof" against future Apple product shenanigans, by giving us a "fail safe" option to get us through the painful process to get it all figured out.

Any feedback? I think this idea would be simple and awesome, and would help a lot until native support is worked out.

I would of course prefer native MC support for the 2.0 firmware itouch and iphone.
However, not being able to apply ratings from the touch back to MC is getting a bit old.
I would settle for having to use itunes for the actual syncing IF the ratings and play stats could make it back to MC.
All my stuff is in flac, so itunes is less than worthless for syncing on it's own.
