For Christmas I was given an ipod. When connected to a usb port the system (Debian Squeeze, linux-2.6.32-5-amd64 stock kernel) gives the following response.
Dec 30 10:14:22 dragon kernel: [ 3706.552517] usb 1-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 10 Dec 30 10:14:23 dragon kernel: [ 3706.688694] usb 1-2: New USB device found, idVendor=05ac, idProduct=129e Dec 30 10:14:23 dragon kernel: [ 3706.689111] usb 1-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 Dec 30 10:14:23 dragon kernel: [ 3706.689507] usb 1-2: Product: iPod Dec 30 10:14:23 dragon kernel: [ 3706.689980] usb 1-2: Manufacturer: Apple Inc.

In contrast, when my SanDisk mp3 player is attached to the usb port the response is Dec 30 12:41:07 dragon kernel: [12511.248018] usb 1-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 11 Dec 30 12:41:07 dragon kernel: [12511.396024] hub 1-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 2 Dec 30 12:41:09 dragon kernel: [12513.596016] usb 1-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 12 Dec 30 12:41:10 dragon kernel: [12513.729571] usb 1-2: New USB device found, idVendor=0781, idProduct=74c2 Dec 30 12:41:10 dragon kernel: [12513.729945] usb 1-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 Dec 30 12:41:10 dragon kernel: [12513.730323] usb 1-2: Product: SanDisk Sansa Fuze Dec 30 12:41:10 dragon kernel: [12513.730741] usb 1-2: Manufacturer: SanDisk Dec 30 12:41:10 dragon kernel: [12513.731294] usb 1-2: SerialNumber: DE0FF5024426B6A80000000000000000 Dec 30 12:41:10 dragon kernel: [12513.731984] usb 1-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Dec 30 12:41:10 dragon kernel: [12513.735569] scsi9 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Dec 30 12:41:10 dragon kernel: [12513.736186] usb-storage: device found at 12 Dec 30 12:41:10 dragon kernel: [12513.736188] usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning Dec 30 12:41:15 dragon kernel: [12518.736254] usb-storage: device scan complete Dec 30 12:41:15 dragon kernel: [12518.738598] scsi 9:0:0:0: Direct-Access SanDisk Sansa Fuze 4GB v02.

As an mp3 player the SanDisk Sansa is excellent and meets all my needs but I promised the family member who gave me the ipod I would try to create an app. I'm not sure I can do that but first I must gain access to the thing.
