I could see many use-cases for an encrypted file system inside an image file on your mobile device.
The dependancies I mentioned here. Instead of dmsetup I recommend cryptsetup-luks (aka cryptsetup nowadays) because it only has that one purpose. Just check out each of their manuals...

Together with an Ext2/Ext3 driver this should be compatbile with FreeOTFE, making it possible to even access r/w mode of both the image as well as the filesystem on a little endian machine such as Windows/x86-32. Like TrueCrypt. That means, that for example the image can be put on MicroSD, and a Windows/x86-32 user (most used desktop platform...) can write stuff onto it.
