You're wrong.

The ipod *touch* is a variant of the iphone design.  It is *not the
same* as previous ipods.  It is *not a usb attached disk*.  Period.  You
don't mount it.  You don't format it.  You don't get to copy files to
it.  It has an internal filesystem and database, which is accessed via a
proprietary USB protocol.  The internal format is irrelevant as it is
not exposed to the host.  It is most likely HFS+, but as I said, this is
irrelevant.

Non-Touch/Iphone ipods are USB mass storage devices.  The device Matt
asked about is not one of them.

Do not buy an iphone or ipod touch if you want to use it as USB attached
storage with linux.  It won't work.


Thanks Mike,
That's pretty clear - Got it.
