If using libgpod through gtkpod only requires the iPhone be  
jailbroken, the above is not true. Jailbreaking your iPhone does not  
void the warranty, and there is very little chance of bricking it by  
just jailbreaking it. Bricking used to be an issue when mucking with  
the radio firmware, but jailbreaking doesn't touch that stuff.

To jailbreak an iPhone, check out http://ziphone.org/

You will need either a Windows or Mac to do the Jailbreak though.
