I dont't know if this is usefull to anyone but you can browse you complete iphone filesystem if you have a jailbroken phone by doing the following:
Your phone needs to be JAILBROKEN to do this:
1) ssh to your phone
2) cd to /var/mobile/Applications
3) There will be a couple of directories with cryptic names... find the directory with the MobileFinder.app in it
4) cd to the Documents folder in that folder. This is the folder where MobileFinder saves its data.
5) enter 'ln -s / IPHONE'

now you have created a hard link to the root directory of your phone. This is potentially dangerous and could mess up you phone if you delete/change important file. If you do so don't blame me... ;-)

You need to have ssh program (putty on windows,ssh in the terminal on mac).

On the mac,in the terminal enter: ssh root@<iphone-ip>
