“PwnPlayer is an application (currently in beta) for
the iPhone and iPod Touch. One feature of interest is file system
playback, allowing easy access to the device’s music files on
Linux.

“Two caveats here, and they’re big ones. I still do not have an
iPod Touch or iPhone, and therefore, I have not tested this
software. PwnPlayer, by nature, is only able to work on iPhones or
iPod Touches that have been jailbroken. This process, of course,
voids the warranty, and while restoring the device to factory
settings is possible, there are risks involved.”
