Have you been wondering just how the latest Ubuntu release is now able to connect and even sync music with Ubuntu One music store and Rhythmbox? Well the answer (loosely) is the software library known as libimobiledevice.
Apparently the idea is that it presents a select number of back-end and front-end software options that provide quite a bit of great software functionality.
Functionality ranges from updating, backing up to restoring. Sadly though, the project leaves you to fend for yourself, squinting at the video as it did not provide clear documentation at all. Out of it all, I did get two things working that I have been wanting for sometime. USB and Bluetooth Internet tethering to my non-Jailbroken iPhone. It’s in this article here.
