Hey guys,
Well apon looking through new files in the update some guys and myself over at TUAW saw something new that can be found at: /System/PrivateFrameworks

It's a Yahoo Syncing Agent. Well there is a lovely little app in there (Doesn't work) that looks like this:



Check the package contents of that app, and what do you find? PhoneConduit.plist

Check the other .plist's all they contain are localization strings that are just for errors and sycning.

All of the files in the framework are for syncing contacts. Using VCards and your Yahoo account.

So you have to run an application to sync your contacts? That's lame. Why didn't they build it into iSync?

[krove]

iTunes is the new iSync. If you read the iPhone pages at apple.com, all syncing of contacts and calendars is done through iTunes.

Given that it is an agent and not a full-on application, the process of syncing to Yahoo! is probably transparent to the end-user and works in conjunction with iTunes during the syncing process. This, of course, is just speculation.

Yahoo! Sync is obviously just the way you sync stuff with Yahoo. iSync probably hands a lot of the rest (or iSync stuff built into iTunes).
