OT: iPod Touch and Linux?

My wife won an iPod Touch on a raffle last Friday. After playing with it for a while I've almost given up on the idea of keeping it. A lot of  surfing and experimenting later I've found the following:

• libgpod (which is used by both gtkpod and amarok) in Debian Sid only has read-only support for the iPod Touch (requires a jailbreak and installing SSH, which I've done). That seems to mean that iTunes is the only way of syncing music and audiocasts onto it. Ouch.
• It doesn't have a flash decoder. All it offers is a H.264 decoder. This means that most videos on the web can't be watched. I've failed to find details on how to convert flash (and other format) videos to something that the iPod Touch could play. So even if I find a way of sticking videos on it I still can't play them :(

Does anyone have any pointers on these issues. Or is the only option left to me to put it for sale on ebay and buy a Nokia N800 for the money?

What if I don't want to obey the laws? Do they throw me in jail with
the other bad monads?
