Hi,

   How did we miss this?

http://ipodlinux.sourceforge.net/

http://apple.slashdot.org/apple/03/02/04/0420208.shtml?tid=137&tid=106ontalk>

   Bells are going off in my head. So, the hardware has been
reverse-engineered enough that something can be ported to it (unless of
course Apple puts a hardware block in..). I wonder how hard it would
be to make a program like this that takes over the iPod's hardware
completely (I assume bypassing the Pixo OS), but enable it to
"instantly reboot" into the iPod's Apple-OS?

Jim
