Yes. I use Google's calendar program (easier for me since I work in 
multiple locations in South Florida), and the phone syncs up perfectly 
without even having to use the computer.

Yes. I succeeded in doing this using Wine. It's not *nearly* as smooth as 
iTunes on my Mac Mini--I almost thought that the computer had frozen on 
me, but it did work the one time I tried it.

> Can you use the iTunes store?

That I haven't been able to do yet on the computer. But since I can 
download the music from the iTunes store directly to my iPhone, that 
hasn't been an issue for me.

Rhythmbox creates playlists quite well. I have several.

Then why even mention it? Or were you just moving the goalposts once you 
realized I *could* sync the music in my computer with my iPhone?
