Not sure exactly which devices you refer to by "newer iDevices". There are roughly 2 ipods families for this matter, the iPod Classic/iPod Nano (called iPod from now on) on one side, and the iPod Touch/iPhone (called iPhone from now on) on the other side. For the iPod, the plist xml file doesn't exist on the visible device filesystem, but it can be extracted through a SCSI Inquiry command, and libgpod installs a hal callout which issues this command and writes the plist file to disk when the iPod is plugged in. For the iPhone, I suspect this information is available somehow from the iPhone but at this point in time, I have no idea where to get it from. Maybe it's available from the custom USB protocol, maybe it's available somewhere in the filesystem, I don't know :) But I'm pretty sure it can be found somehow.
