There's something definitely a bit odd about this "backup" process. I noticed the same thing happening with my first gen iPhone following the upgrade to the 2.0 firmware and iTunes 7.7. I've noticed these backups each and every sync, and even if I downloaded a single app on the phone, it shouldn't take 15mins (or more) to backup that one program. It's almost like it's doing a full backup of the phone each time anything has changed.

I don't sync my phone a lot, but this is certainly annoying. Hopefully they'll sort it out w/ iTunes 7.7.1.
