Hello,
I noticed it should be possible to sync apps with Ubuntu / iPod / iPhone too so went in and looked to install it.
Below is a guide to install ideviceinstaller, hope it works. Any info to make this guide better is more then welcome!
I am by no means an expert, but it worked for me

Troubleshooting
* Error: ideviceinstaller: error while loading shared libraries: libimobiledevice.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
- Fix:
Code:
$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libimobiledevice.so.1.0.1 /usr/lib/libimobiledevice.so.1
* Error: idevicebackup: /build/buildd/libplist-1.1/src/plist.c:576: plist_get_uint_val: Assertion `length == sizeof(uint64_t)' failed.
- Fix: No fix (yet). The error appears on both my iPod Touch and iPhone 3GS on both 32 bit and 64 bit Ubuntu
