Re: Iphone 4 and Arch ?

If "sync it" means a formal sync you will need to run itunes.  I have no idea what the status is with wine but you could always run Windows 7 or MacOSX (I think) in a virtualbox.  I thought I read somewhere the later was possible now.

Thanks for the fast answer,
Actually when i try to install itunes with play on linux it tells that i'll be able only to listen to music, not to sync my devices, so i don't think that resolves the problem.
In other hand the solution of the virtualBox would consume some time and ressources only for that, when i want the thing to be hard only at the configuration (the arch way).

This is one of the many reasons I loath apple as a company.

Have you seen https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/IOS ? What have you tried so far? In particular either pay attention to the first paragraph if you use something that uses gfvs or look at the ifuse way further down.
