Bacchaebabe - in our X1, we use my wife's iPod 3G with the Y-cable and it works great - playlists display, you can run through menus, and everything works perfectly. I can also plug in my iPhone 4 and it will display all playlists - it also displays all my phone contacts, but I think this is because it is connecting through Bluetooth as well (can't seem to get the iPhone to play songs through Bluetooth though...). So I would recommend trying the Y-cable. It's not too expensive, at least here in Canada. I'm looking forward to seeing lots of nicely-equipped X1's when we visit Australia next March! Our first trip to Oz!
