Testing and Debugging on the device: How can I stop iTunes to make me crazy every time I connect my device?

It's so harrying: Every time when I connect my iPod touch to my mac, iTunes launches and starts synchronizing. This causes collisions with Xcode when it tries to install the app on the device in this time. And my exposé-windows always jump to the iTunes window. Then I have to wait, wait, wait, dismiss the stupid question like "you really want me to delete everything and make a new library on your device?", wait again a few seconds, quit iTunes (to prevent problems with the provisioning profiles), and switch back to Xcode.

It would be so GREAT if I could disable the automatic startup of iTunes when I connect the device, since I'm really not such a music-junkee at all. I use it just for apps anyways and most of the time, I just want to test/debug or just charge the battery.

I couldn't see any option in the menus to do that. I also tried to disable the iPod background service, but this enables itself automatically again and again. So I hope there is a solution to prevent it from automatic starting. I mean... when I really want a sync, or new music, or whatever, I would manually start iTunes. %$!!§&!

Unchecking "Open iTunes when this iPod is attached" solves the problem for me.
