If you want iphone/ipod touch in ubuntu easy technique is using iFuse program.
iFuse permits you to mount an iPhone or iPod Touch below Linux with the help of the USB cable. You can view and edit the files same to a usual USB disk drive. iFuse does not need “jailbreaking” or voiding your warranty and functions without requiring additional software installed on the phone (such as `ssh`).libiphone is a software library which interacts the local Apple USB protocols that the iPhone uses. In contrast with other projects, `libiphone` does not relies on using any existing `.dll` or `.so` libraries from Apple.

iFuse is a FUSE filesystem driver which uses `libiphone` to connect to devices and for that you are not necessary to jailbreak. iFuse is using the local Apple “AFC” protocol, over the usual USB cable in order to have an on access theiPhone’s or as you said the iPod Touch media files under Linux.Once the iPhone is mounted, you can copy on, or copy off several media files that exist inside the `/var/root/Media` chroot directory. This includes images and music files.

Install iFuse in Ubuntu
First you require to edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
and accordingly you can add the lines as there are different line for different versions of Linuxes
For karmic Users you need to add following lines deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/jonabeck/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/jonabeck/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
For Jaunty Users you need to add following lines
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/jonabeck/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

Precisely, that’s how & what I did yesterday night. Worst thing was hearing the USB device freeing sound on the VBox guest for the very first time. Then, manually enabling it after 10 seconds left me with a clean screened phone (which was scarier). Re-enabling the USB filter device on the guest as it obtains disconnected by iTunes, did the job. I didn’t attempt using ReactOS for installing/Testing iTunes & USB connections YET. Any helpers out there?
