Syncing the iPod Touch via Dropbox

Mails, Calendar and Notes are synced. Not sure about music but i guess it won't work thru dropbox. Besides that it wuld last forever even if you only have like 5GB of music.

Why don't you just use iTunes thru wine?

 

I mean that syncing music via dropbox would last forever, if it worked. The latter three are synced to the corresponding application (iCal, Mail on OS X).

I used iTunes in wine to browse the store and it worked ok. However it was version 8 as I tried it.

Nevertheless, without iTunes u are not going to get any updates and your iPod won't get backed up. You also can't download apps greater than 10MB directly.

 

you need itunes 10 to activate the ipod and also it is the way you sync music to it, you can play music from dropbox but you cant sync or transfer music to the ipod.

after you have activated and put some music on it you dont ever *have* to use itunes again, obviously you wouldnt get software updates or be able to put new music on it, but it will work fine without itunes, you can use something like gmail to sync contacts rather than from the address book on the computer

 

I don't have frequent wifi access. is there a way to sync with gmail contacts while plugged in to itunes?

If so, HOW. I'm having troubles figuring it out
