I suspect it's easier to do that, than to do the same for an iOS based
device, however, some people are able to do it. Btw. there are tons of
videos about this topic on YouTube. Until now I missed to watch those
videos, but I read about this topic a little bit.

I'll listen to "Steve Wozniak talking about iTunes on Linux" ASAP, since
I own an iPad, running iTunes on Vbox, but I even can't get iBooks
working anymore.

I always thought that for Android based devices there aren't serious
issues, excepted of pro-audio.

It's a shame :(.
