Use iSync to sync some data with iPhone

You can use iSync instead of iTunes to sync up your iPhone. There's no need to add the iPhone as a device within iSync. It already seems to be there, it's just hidden. Obviously, iTunes controls what is synced, but iSync seems to find changes make to your address book and calendar just fine.

I haven't tested it with transferring of music or video, and I would be surprised if those items synced. To do quick syncs of other data, though, I added iSync to the menu bar and disabled auto-syncing of the iPhone when it is plugged in and launches iTunes. Now there's no delay in waiting for iTunes to launch in order to perform a simple sync of my calendar or address book.
