Apple:
Go to Applications->iPhoto
iPhoto will see your phone and its photos and you can tell it which photos you wish to move from your phone to your computer

Windows:
What ever software you use for pulling photos off your regular camera should recognize your iPhone and treat it like any other camera

If that doesn’t work or if it stops working try:
My Computer->Manage->Device Manager
Portable Devices->Apple iPhone

If the Apple iPhone has a yellow triangle on it that’s the problem – delete it.
Then unplug the phone, plug the phone back in and wait for Windows to see the phone and re-install the driver

To fix this:
Don’t sync the iPhone before your morning coffee. (j/k)

I didn’t want to lose any app or personal info so in iTunes I unchecked everything that wasn’t an app or on the info page. Then sync’d again. This removed the huge other file.

Then I resync’d all the previous items; music, photos, podcasts etc and everything is fine.

I’m not sure what the other file was, some people claim to have found huge photo caches, some large app caches, neither of those make sense in my case. But it’s fixed and the fix was reasonably painless so I’m good with that.
