Using an iPod Touch with Linux. Worth it? Mrs. the dief has a 30gb ipod video that has seen better days, and I am thinking of a replacement. I suspect it's the hard drive crapping out, so I'd like to get her a 32gb iPod Touch. However, we're a Linux household, and will be for the forseeable future (so please, no "get a Mac/Windows machine, you hippie" answers, thanks). I know that libgpod has "preliminary" support for jailbroken iPhones/Touches, but I'd like to hear from folks who have some experience with using current versions of these devices under Linux and if it's more of a pain in the ass than its worth. Can applications be installed in a Touch without iTunes? If it works now, is support likely to break at some point?

If you think it is way too much trouble than its worth, does anyone have a suggestion for a +30gb flash player that does the Sensible Thing and mounts as a USB device? Thanks much!
