[Gtkpod-devel] My first iPhone 4Gs exploration

[Jan K. <JKu...@Ja...>]

Hi,

today i had the chance to get temporarily an iPhone 4Gs from an 
colleague of mine and had a first look into the database stuff. Here my 
first explorations:

1.) The sqlite-database stuff is no more split into 5 databases inside 
the "iTunes Library.itlp" folder but there is only one database file, 
called "MediaLibrary.sqlitedb" inside the "iTunes_Control/iTunes" folder.

2.) The artwork is no more split into several "*.ithmb" files containing 
the RAW-image data but there is a single file: 
"MediaLibrary-artwork.data" inside the "iTunes_Control/iTunes" folder 
containing the "real" JPEG image data one after another (each starting 
with the typical fingerprint "FFD8 FFE0 0010 4A46 4946").

3.) The "iTunesCDB" has the hashingSheme set to "1" and therefore only 
the 58-Hash is present. Something similar for the sqlite-DB (like the 
"Locations.itdb.cbk" on the former models) I couldn't find. But what 
about the AB-stuff?

Because of the totally changed sqlite-DB-handling i suspect that there 
is a lot of implementation work to be done to support this iPhone model.

Maybe this is also the case with the former requested Nano 6. Gen 
integration - but I'm unsure because of I've never hold one in my hand.

If one is interested in some of the files from the phone or some 
brainstorming... i will regulary read this list.

Or is this all well-known and the work on this is already in progress?

Kind regards, Jan.
