Is there any way to get direct access to the Touch's filesystem (without jailbreaking it) from MacOS?

Any kind of solution would be fine, GUI, command-line, with or without third-party stuff like MacFUSE ...

Jailbreaking in essence is exactly that, allowing root access. In non-jailbroken state, you're stuck in jail (Media section).

I stand corrected. I assumed that it required a jailbroken device 😉

I love iPhone Drive... it's well worth the $10 in my opinion. You can even grab music, movies, tv shows and notes right off of it without any hacking.

Hmmm, maybe that's how much I paid... I can't remember... perhaps they were having a sale on it at the time... I don't know. It's still worth $20 even.
