Apple?

You don't want to "manage" any of those. At best, you can read/look at
them. But because everything is linked into some XML files, deleting am
SMS file would cause the iphone to detect an error because of a missing
file because some other file would continue to point to the new
non-existent file.


If you jailbreak your phone, you can SSH into it and use the "LS"
command to get to the contents. There is also an appletalk deamon which
allows you to mount the iphone on your Mac at which point, you can see
the whole file system via finder and use the plist editor to change
plists files onthe iphone.

How does that let me put in my own sound? I can do it for ringtones.

Try Iphone Browser (google it).
Phone doesn't have to be jailbroken and it gives complete access to
the system.

Gotta be JB.... tons of apps that do what you want. Cydia features SSH
which allows you to see into your mysterious device, via USB or WiFi, that
Apple wants to keep secret.

There's all levels of users, and then there's those that simply want to
be in control of what they own. It's almost impossible to make a MAC user
understand why us dopes suffer with Windows. Kind of the same argument as
JBing.

I haven't looked into what it does and doesn't do yet, but my latest Mac
magazine that I picked up form the shop today has a brief tutorial for using
your iPod / iPhone as a hard drive / flash drive via an application called
Phone Disk from http://www.macroplant.com/phonedisk and the it does not
involve jailbreaking.

One of the tutorial's steps does show what looks like the folders on the
iPod / iPhone and a note not to meddle with them.

Unfortunately it was free until 1 September, so we've just missed out on
that thanks to it taking two / three months for magazines to reach New
Zealand (unless you're willing to pay excessive air frieght charges).

In the northern hemisphere, because water swirls in the correct
direction when a sink empties, the application is free until December 1st.

It appears they just changed the expiration date from September to December.
