iTunes doesn't have any alternatives for these functions: - purchasing songs from iTunes Store - activating iPhone - new ipod/iPhone syncing
Anybody who buys an iPhone and can't activate it on their Linux PC will blame Linux and think it's crap. Even developers like jwz, I bet; see http://jwz.livejournal.com/494040.html
So yeah, iTunes is important. - Dan
Assuming syncing is the primary push behind this (or ends up being done either way) I support iTunes being supports. Though if people go to a lot of effort on this and those features aren't implemented I would consider this a waste of time. For the person who does fix ipod syncing I thank you very much.
