Interesting. I have a 15GB iPod as well, and my SysInfo says:
BoardHwName: iPod Q14
ModelNumStr: P9460
buildID: 0x02208000 (2.2)
visibleBuildID: 0x02208000 (2.2)
Well, the 9460 matches and the Q14 matches.

I've been looking into IOKit and stuff, and I'm wondering, is there a
way to tell what kind of iPod is plugged in? Finder does this, I

know anything about this?
The private iPod framework can tell you what revision the iPod is, but
it's non-obvious what that means. I have two different versions of
iPods that have different revision numbers, the newer one has a more
recent revision number, but I am not sure what revision number is the
first revision to use version 2 firmware, or which version number is
an iPod Mini. The information you can get from the device tree in
IOKit seems to be more like the revision of the protocol or kext that
the iPod uses, and does not seem to represent the model number of the
actual device.
In a more public fashion, if you can get the iPod mounted (which is
best done using the private iPod framework, as far as I can tell),
then you should be able to pull information out of a mime-ish file on
the device: iPod_Control/Device/SysInfo .. this file has more verbose
information, but is very different for a firmware 1.x iPod versus a
firmware 2.x iPod (experimentally).
For reference, my original 20gb iPod has this relevant information:
pszBoardHwName: iPod P97
buildID: 0x01408000 (1.4)
and my new 15gb iPod has this relevant information:
BoardHwName: iPod Q14
ModelNumStr: M9460
buildID: 0x02208000 (2.2)
visibleBuildID: 0x02208000 (2.2)
It would be awesome if people with other revisions of iPods could
donate the relevant information from their SysInfo file.. I'm
particularly interested in the iPod Mini, and other sizes of iPods..
