The one time I tried connecting an iPhone -- not an iPod Touch -- to
NetBSD, here's what I got:

uhidev0 at uhub3 port 4 configuration 2 interface 0

I'm not sure what, if anything, can or should be done about it.

Google finds

and http://www.iphonelinux.org/index.php/Main_Page as possibly useful.
