So what I need help with is communicating with the iphone via a mac program. I don't want to do complicated stuff, I mainly just want to send the "screenshot" command, much like xcode does in the organizer window, however I want to be able to do my own things with it.

A: 

This site lists a way to connect to SSH through a USB connection:

It would be useful for a jailbroken iPhone.

As for other possibilities I haven't looked into, iphuc might be able to do get you just the screenshot capability without requiring you to be jailbroken. You will probably need to sniff them while running the organizer.

eh. iphuc doesn't quite work the way I want it, plus it seems that the latest version was 2 years ago.. and the USB tunnel I haven't looked too far into yet

yea the usb one won't work as well, it seems to be windows only

I did some searches and found a Windows and Mac program called iPhone Tunnel. Some source is available and a Mac compiled version although I'm not sure the Mac version is iPhone OS 3.x compatible.http://web.me.com/novi.mad/page3/page3.htmlhttp://www.webisee.com/2009/06/22/download-working-iphone-tunnel-suite-27-for-os-30/

Check http://code.google.com/p/iphonedisk/

It uses MacFUSE. While it seems to have some problems it is a good start and I was using it a couple of years ago.
