iPod Inside: Standard features of Apple MP3 players

,----[ Quote ]
| iPod-Linux is free software that provides users with more than just another 
| way to fill up the database: for friends of mobile gaming, for example, there 
| is a Gameboy emulator called iBoy. The standard user interface for Linux is 
| available in a palmtop format called podzilla. Users can then install things 
| like music players, pocket calculators, calendar, file browser, picture 
| viewer, painting, recording, text and video programs, as well as numerous 
| games.

iPod on the Outside, Linux on the Inside

| iPod Linux runs on first, second and third generation devices. Versions for 
| additional players are still under development, according to its developers. 
| A functional installation routine is currently only available for Mac 
| computers. Installing iPod Linux does not mean going without the familiar 
| Apple firmware.

Liberating iPods in Cambridge

,----[ Quote ]
| During the event, dubbed iRony, users were walked through the
| process of installing flexible and featureful free/open source
| software firmware -- without DRM -- onto their digital audio players.
| 
| [...]
| 
| Organizers set up laptops running Ubuntu GNU/Linux, Mac OS X,
| and Windows XP at the center of the room. iPod users brought
| their players to experienced users, who would determine the
| generation of the iPod and the current partition format, and
| inquire about the user's needs. Together they would decide on
| a firmware (RockBox, iPodLinux, or both) and walk through the
| process of installation. Meanwhile, others looked on to watch
| the process and learn how it was done. RockBox was installed
| on the majority of the iPods with great success.

| Now I call it a laptop, and it technically is.  It is able to run a 
| full OS (Linux).  And has full UIs.
