1 libimobiledevice is a software library that talks the protocols to support
2 iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad and Apple TV devices. Unlike other projects, it does
3 not depend on using any existing proprietary libraries and does not require
4 jailbreaking. It allows other software to easily access the device's filesystem,
5 retrieve information about the device and its internals, backup/restore the
6 device, manage SpringBoard icons, manage installed applications, retrieve
7 addressbook/calendars/notes and bookmarks and (using libgpod) synchronize music
8 and video to the device. The library is in development since August 2007 with
9 the goal to bring support for these devices to the Linux Desktop.
