Anybody who's curious about getting information about connected iPods, here's your answer. After a couple hours of reverse-engineering I've figured out about half of the functions in the private iPod.framework and created a small project that uses them - it iterates over the list of connected iPods and displays the name, unique ID, revision, and mount point. It requires CFPlugin but is really quite small.

Standard disclaimers apply about using private APIs - they're subject to change without warning, since they're private. If these calls stop working in an OS update, don't blame me.

Also, I'm not entirely sure how legal this is, so don't sue me ;)
