Would be great if they offered wireless syncing, seeing as they've been out for so long, they really do need to get round to adding more features to them.

I've always wondered what would happen if an iPod was plugged into the USB port of an Airport Express? Hmm...
It charges it.

Subject: Wi-Fi Sync: wirelessly sync the iPhone with iTunes... in your dreams (video)
Hey iPhone, welcome to 1997. Following Opera's script in building grassroots hysteria to goad Apple into approving a contentious app, developer Greg Hughes is teasing a video of his Wi-Fi Sync app to the peoples of planet internet. As the name implies, the app promises a complete sync of your iPhone or iPod touch with iTunes without having to tether and looks pretty straightforward (and occasionally useful) based on the video demonstration found after the break. Greg says he'll be submitting it to Apple for approval at the end of the week -- good luck with that Greg, we hope to be seeing you on Cydia at the very least.

Wi-Fi Sync app rejected by Apple, headed to Cydia for $9.99

Can't say we're surprised to hear that Apple rejected Greg Hughes' Wi-Fi Sync app. You know, the app that allows you to wireless sync your iPhone / iPod touch with iTunes without having to USB tether to your computer. Messing with Apple's synchronization technology is a pretty big no-no as demonstrated by Palm's webOS bluff. Here's the rejection as explained by Greg from an unnamed Apple rep over the phone:
"While he agreed that the app doesn't technically break the rules, he said that it does encroach upon the boundaries of what they can and cannot allow on their store. He also cited security concerns."
So while you won't find it in Apple's App Store, it's available now on Cydia for a cool $9.99. You have jailbroken your device haven't you? Don't make us get all MuscleNerd up in here.

I soo want them to! But they should have-course pay Greg for the intellectual property
.If it were on the App Store I'd buy it in an instant, but I still haven't jailbroken my iPhone 3GS so no Cydia for me. Never got round to jailbreaking my 3G either.

Subject: Wi-Fi Sync for iPhone video hands-on: it works!
We just got our hands on Wi-FI Sync and guess what? It actually works -- fancy that! For those of you out of the loop, Apple recently rejected this gem of an app (go figure), but thanks to the magic of jailbreaking, that was hardly the end of the road. Days later, Wi-Fi Sync ended up on Cydia with a completely-affordable price tag of $9.99, promising iPhone and iPod touch users the ability to sync their device with iTunes sans any cabling whatsoever. Since we're notoriously lazy when it comes to actually plugging in our phones and syncing, we fired up the program on our jailbroken 3GS in order to see exactly what the law-abiders in attendance were missing out on.
Gallery: Wi-Fi Sync Hands-On Demo
Installation couldn't have been easier. We parted ways with our Hamilton, downloaded the necessary companion software for our laptop, and fired up the application. The iPhone was immediately recognized, and after a few prompts we were ready for action. Syncing was just as easy as it normally is (with "easy" being a relative term here), just without that iPod wire hanging around and bumming everyone out. We will say, however, that things weren't as snappy OTA as a standard hardwired connection. It was a bit sluggish on the first couple of runs, and although iTunes crashed a few times (boo), we're fairly confident in saying that a poor WiFi connection was to blame for the jankiness. Once we migrated closer to the router, things went much smoother. Still unsure if it's worth the investment? Then give the video past the break a look.

Quite, and it's not going to be ideal for battery usage either!
Well you would be still be by your pc so you could charge it lol....
If you could select songs on your device and sync then over wi-fi WITHOUT the need of your pc that would be sweeeeet. But im guessing rather hard...
Though i don't think it would be impossible?

My wire is under my bed so it charges it while sleep cycle is running for my alarm (yes it works, amazingly) so I can't be bothered to unplug it just to run a sync that should be able to be done over WiFi.
Besides, if apple did it it would do it in the background with the screen off etc and would use hardly any battery at all.
