iTunes

I recently got the iPhone 3G but unfortunately Amarok didn't support it so I had to find a iTunes workaround. Wine didn't look like it would do it either so my only option was go through a Win installation.
There was an iso of WinXP which I had from long back and so I got VirtualBox running and and booted Win up within a 5gig virtual paritition. There were lots of issues initially with initial Vbox not supporting USB at all but got around them by getting the latest debpkg (Thanks Alok) and applying the 'Apple Inc' USB filter. Now everything has worked without any issues so far. Am only waiting for the latest firmware update from Apple 3.0 to see if this was the most foolproof situation.
