I didn't do it since I didn't have any reason to, however I have just seen this:
PwnPlayer - The ultimate media player application for the pwned (jailbroken) iPhone and iPod Touch! Features

This means you can sync without itunes! That HAS to be worth jailbreaking it.

I had one in my old car, it can control the iPod (including iPhone) from the cars head unit. Excellent sound quality and gives you a iPod holder too.

Looks like they don't support Subaru :-(

Your car stereo is probably another brand pretending to be whatever Subaru put in. Once you find that out then it will work. The only difference in the car kits is one wire. Its the same wire that is used for a CD changer to be used in the car so providing you have a CD changer possibility in your car it should be possible to get it to work.

EDIT: Here is a link to what you want.

Here is the information about iPhone compatibility.

iPhone 3.0 software will be announced today at 18:00, I would imagine it will include cumbersome copy and paste and make Safari even more unstable and slow.

Right, so iPhone OS 3.0 is out this summer, free to all iPhone owners.

This adds:

MMS
SMS forwarding
Stereo Bluetooth
Turn by turn directions for maps (TomTom sould be on the way then)
Cut and Paste
Enhanced search (spotlight a la OSX)
Push notification
Peer to peer networking for games and other apps
Forward meetings and contacts

I'm quite impressed actually, it seems that Apple are trying to shake the rut handset manufacturers got themselves into in which a handset's shelf life is about 6 months. I don't think the iPhone is great but the fact I own a device that Apple are continuing to improve is positive. I'd guess the Palm PRe is putting a certain amount of pressure on them too.

3.0 seems so nice and timely....but remains to be seen at the actual release release.

I ran a speed test on my Orange iPhone 3G this morning from testmyiphone.com.

I got a feeble 80Kbps down and a slightly better 156Kbps up. The download speed is pathetic especially since I am currently right next to HB, it leads me to believe that the Orange 3G network is massively over subscribed.
How have you found 3G browsing on iPhone?
