Yes I did try but it probably has to do with the following error message:

Unknown error code 150
could not find the requested device on the USB port

The above error message comes from the following steps:

Plug in iPod Touch to the USB port > message notification 'Available Devices' appears on the 
desktop with a camera option > choose 'Open with file manager' > click on 'MTP Device' folder in 
the resulting Dolphin window

The other folder available is 'USB PTP Class Camera' with some sub-folders:
store_00010001 > DCIM > 800AAAAA > then access to available pics (.jpg's)
Even when opening the 'USB PTP Class Camera' and its subsequent folders and copying photos, there 
is no info anywhere about it being mounted - which seems strange - also I cannot 'Safely remove' it.
