I guess the newest update of usbmuxd (1.0.6) fixed the problems with KDE (or better defined, amarok) not able to see the iPhone 4′s music.  It was a little shocking when I plugged my iPhone in to charge it and to my surprise; amarok is displaying my phones music collection.  For some time, the device has been detected via lsusb, but this was definitely a delightful gift.  I didn’t change anything except run the normal ArchLinux updates and since the latest release of usbmux, there have been no other major updates in the libimobiledevice chain.  (I only assume it was the usbmuxd update because it was announced) Sadly, there is still no noticed progress on a write access to the file system.  Another interesting announcement was the release of “iTunes Filesharing” in the git master.  I will have to check this out and see if this allows the transfer of music.
