No, don't f**k up ipod unles its an old one you don't careabout, I f**kING HATE THIS ARTICLE, thanks to this article i have NO IPOD f**k YOU, HOW TO HACK YOUR IPOD Spent 300$ on a new one
You can play video on a nano, I have done it =). I uninsulated it though, because the nano can only play uncompressed video, which takes up A TON of space.
Not if you screw up the firmware it needs to be recognized by the computer, which is needed to restore it.. Atleast that what I managed to do somehow to an old iPod, although it could have been something weird in combination with the harddrive dying stopping it mounting, but still, it's possible to f'k an iPod doing this- Ben
no, it is ABSOLUTELY impossible to brick it with this. if all else fails, start it in disk mode and format it. then itunes will read it as an ipod in recovery mode and restore it for you. the ipl site has a whole section dedicated to this.
i skipped the iPodLinux part and went straight to installing RockBox, i didn't have to do any reformatting at all, and got to keep all my music...the installer simply isntalled a few files and in about 5 minutes i had a new OS, fantastic.
True, I just managed to sort my iPod, after proding around the internet, along with stuff on the iPodLinux wiki, and pulling the iPod apart, I managed to get it into Disk Mode (Disconnecting the harddrive, staritng it up, connecting it to the PC, connecting the harddive), I then used rohPod to wipe the MBR (descibed on the iPodLInux wiki), iTunes then recognized it, and I could restore it.. Still, the harddrive is on it's last legs (Which have been sawen off/reattached a few times..), which is understandable since it's had a rough ~4 years..Still, it wasn't easy to fix it (It took a few hours of tinkering before I got it to restore), so for quite a few people, it is possible to brick an iPod with this- Ben

She did it, and can still dance like an iTunes commercial, so why should you not do it too: <a class="user" href="http://digg.com/videos_music/Give_your_iPod_the_boot">http://digg.com/videos_music/Give_your_iPod_the_boot</a>

you get to play videos on a nano, and get the entire wikipedia in your pocket! (Plus like 5 versions of doom and a gameboy emulator).
