mounting iphone/ipod/ipad from command line in linux

[Willem van der Walt]

Yes, the device shows up as /dev/sdb which is what will happen if you plug 
a memmory stick into the machine.
The following output of mount must have something to do with it all.
fusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw)
However, /sys/fs/fuse/connections is an empty directory.
The machine is set up to automount USB storage devices, and a vfat file 
system is mounted there.
/dev/sdb1 on /media/stick type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,sync,uid=1000)
I do see apple stuff there, but should I see some thing more?
root at SANote:/home/bid/stick# ls
Calendars  Contacts  iPod_Control  Notes  Recordings  System Volume 
Information
root at SANote:/home/bid/stick#

Under the iPod_Control directory, there is a music directory containing 
directories called f01 through f13.
Inside these, there are audio files which I can play with mplayer, 
however, these file names look like they are machine generated.
TIA, Willem
