Ubuntu and iPhone FTW!

  • March 2, 2010 8:12 am

So yesterday a member of the ubuntuforums posted about what he found out after he installed the latest Alpha release of Ubuntu 10.04. Not only did the release support his graphics card straight away, and hop into full screen mode (something that has always pissed me off in the past) but it also recognized his iPhone, right away without any configuration on his end! He can access all of the music, play lists, apps on the iPhone using Nautilus, and RhythmBox works with it as if it were iTunes.

This latest distro, titled Lucid Lynx is due out this April, and with this newly added feature, I am sure will draw in a huge audience and hopefully really drop a Google pin on the Linux family. It is stated also that this works with the soon to be released Fedora distro, Fedora 13, in May and should be working on all distros upcoming releases. I will for sure be testing this in April when I get my hands on the final Lucid release.
