Re: [PLUG] iDevices

I have used my iPod Touch an aggregate of about fifty hours in the two years since getting a nook and an Android phone, and that was when I was sick with the flu last year and rediscovering some old games. When I used it heavily, I was running iTunes on the XP side of my dual-boot box. 'Nuf said?

The world *is* actually going to end shortly, as evidenced by work getting me an iPad.

I am not the least bit interested in iTunes. I don't want to dig up Steve Jobs and ask permission each time I want to put a media file on my device. No syncing needed - just xfer files and play/view/display them.

Plugging into Win7 allows me access to DCIM but I can't actually put anything there. Plugging into Xubuntu 12.04 finds a USB device but that's it. Xubuntu 12.10 fully identifies the iPad and that's it. I have Googled, installed libimobile, fuse, gtkpod and whatever else, to no avail.

Apparently one cannot simply use a File Manager to manage files. Every manager I found wants you to use ITS file system.

I know these things are pretty popular. How does PLUG use them?

Thanks.
