iPhone 3G support?

I think it's a pretty good idea, because even if it is a workaround that requires a bit of fiddling, I'd be willing to do that extra bit of work to avoid using iTunes for anything *but* plain syncing. That program just infuriates me every time.
I also second the request for an app or web app (which I just discovered are two different things - I know, I'm slow) for MC.

I played with this a bit more tonight, since my iPhone actually came in (though I can't pick it up until tomorrow because I'm stuck working)... Either way, I got iTunes all set up with an auto-importerish third party app (no where near as good as MC). However, what I really need is for MC to be able to do the easy on-the-fly Video conversion. I really hate having iTunes installed on my HTPC, but oh well... I'll have to live with it until MC gets it all figured out.
It works perfectly for my wife's iPod Nano (well, the Aspect Ratio gets messed up but that's another story for another thread). However, when I set up the "generic" handheld, I can't set Video conversion to any of the iPod presets. That's just silly!
Can we get access to all of the standard iPod conversion options in the dropdowns for Generic Handhelds? Right now, MC seems to assume that they are Windows Media based handhelds. This is probably often true, but doesn't help me out at all!

This is from my new Jesus-phone!
Just playin' ... But so far, I don't see what people are complaining about the keyboard for... I'm not having that much trouble. And the auto-correct is really quite good.
Oh well.... Back to making dinner!
Teaflax:
OT, but the auto-correct is a huge pain if you're bilingual, because there's really no way to switch it on the fly. Also, the Swedish one involves a LOT of guess work, since it has to compensate for the lack of å, ä and ö on the keyboard and you never really know if it will even do it or when it does, which of the possible words it will choose. For instance, I'd type "ar" and it would give me "år" (year), rather than "är" (is). Now, which one of those two would you think is more common in a written sentence?
Qythyx:
I too just got a new iPhone and figured out one way to sync videos reasonably painlessly. Here're the steps:
1. Go to the Program Files\J River\Media Center 12\Plugins folder
2. Edit the ffmpeg.xml file in some text editor (you might want to make a copy first in case something goes wonky)
3. Edit the <phone3gp> line to be something like:
<phone3gp>-y -acodec libfaac -ab 128kb -ar 44100 -vcodec mpeg4 -b 1000kb -r 30 -s 426x320</phone3gp>
You can adjust the 1000kb to the bitrate of your choosing. You can also adjust the -s parameters to the size you want. 426x320 is 4:3 and 568x320 is 16:9.
4. Save the file and restart MC.
5. Next time you sync video choose the 3gb option and it'll convert your videos to 3gp files that can be played by your iPhone.
6. Celebrate by watching the movie ;)
