If you want iphone/ipod touch in ubuntu easy way is using iFuse program.iFuse allows you to mount an iPhone or iPod Touch under Linux using the USB cable. You can view and edit the files similar to a normal USB disk drive. iFuse does not require “jailbreaking” or voiding your warranty and works without needing extra software installed on the phone (such as `ssh`).

and in spite of TomTom sell TomTom devices with Linux computers

It does have some bugs though. I get the Camera mounted 6 times, and the phone filesystem mounted twice (as iPhone and as iphone___)

I can't unmount them unless I'm root, and most importantly, noting I add to the phone filesystem shows up on the phone, I'll still have to jailbreak it to make the bloody phone usable.

I know it doesn't help much in your case, but I wonder if these libraries will make it easier to jailbreak the iPhone from within Linux? Every few months I put together a temporary Windows machine to do the dirty deed, that'd save me a few steps.

No they don't, they make it harder. At least in this case. I downloaded Redsn0w08 for Linux, and couldn't get it to jailbreak my phone until I uninstalled iFuse.

With a bit of work they sould be very good, though.

Hopefully you're not sacrificing actual hardware for that. I'd build a virtual peecee for the task - virtualbox comes in quite handy in such cases.

I couldn't get it to work on a VM

hmm - it must be wanting to poke registers and/or I/O ports or something...
