So, I just upgraded to iTunes 8, and when I plugged in my iPhone afterward, the normal “AutoPlay” popup popped up… Except with a bunch of crazy Asian characters in the device name that I’m assuming are Japanese, but who knows? What’s up with that?
Now THIS app is very cool: Air Sharing. With it, you can now access (add, delete, open) files on your iPhone from your computer, over the air. It’s free for the next 2 weeks or so, so get it now, or pay for it later. I just tested it out from my Vista pc and it works really well. I dragged some mp3s, a pdf, a quicktime .mov, and a .wmv file from windows to…
I found this article, followed the steps, and voilà! I can finally manage my music* on more than one computer. It’s amazing that you’d have to go out of the way like this to do something so simple as using your device the way you want, but at least it works now.

Granted, the audio quality isn’t quite as good as having the MP3 right there, and there’s a small delay as it buffers before playing, but the sound quality is comparable to maybe a mild-strength FM station perhaps,…
