I haven't tried for awhile but I remember I was able to access some photos and videos using Shotwell but that's about it. I am not worried about access data from my iPhone on my Linux machines. I am looking at ways to listen to my music library on my iPhone without iTunes. set your iphone into USB drive mode, connect it to 'nix machine, copy over music, disconnect, play music - no? That only gives you access to photos last I tried it. Oh, suck then!.

I was a professional guitarist (classical) and trombonist (ensemble and jazz) at one point. It was great and I loved it, but it took so much of my time. While I enjoy it a lot, I don't enjoy it more than my career stuff. But one pays the bills and one does not, so it is an important trade off. Once upon a time I played guitar to pay the bills and had to play over six hours a day. Was fun, but that's why I have carpal tunnel now.

If you want over the year, the Backbeat Pro is awesome! Don't get the Backbeat GO 2. They are horrible... I have the Backbeat Pro - don't like it. Battery life is retarded and none of the rubber ear cups fit, which means they fall out of my ears all the time. @JaredBusch - as for dealing with listening to music in only one ear; It's a trade off. I get to listen to music or talk on the phone, and ignore,.. err I mean still hear the person across the room. Just to confirm, we're talking about these, right? http://www.plantronics.com/us/product/backbeat-pro I think you might be thinking of the Backbeat GO 2. Backbeat Go - Sorry Yeah, those are horrible. Never use those.

@g.jacobse said: @handsofqwerty said: What type of headset is this? It may need a firmware update: http://www.plantronics.com/us/support/myheadset/updater/ Once you do that, you'll want to rebuild the bluetooth stack. Remove the device from your phone, power off, power back on, re-pair the bluetooth. That will rebuild the bluetooth stack and is best practice after updating firmware. (I spend A LOT of time on PLT's forums). Also, I don't recommend the M series. They are the stupid cousin of the Voyager series. Sadly my BT isn't any of those. It's the M55 - Just a simple unit. Oh, I'm sorry...

And I'd be remiss if I didn't at least say...go Federer!
