[Linux-disciples] Mounting an iPhone under Linux

When I plug my iPhone into my computer's
USB port, Linux recognizes the phone's
camera portion and asks me if I want to
load its photos in F-Spot. It doesn't
recognize the other bits, and thereby
doesn't ask me if I want to run
something like gtkpod.

If I run 'lsusb -v -s 005:002', I get
all the information below. Does anyone
know how I might extract from this a
device node which I could then mount?

I have XP running under VMWare on
this machine. I'm going to see if I can
run iTunes under XP and have it talk
with my USB-connected iPhone. First I
need to get *Linux* to recognize the
USB-connected iPhone.
