iPod Linux !

October 11th, 2005

Well, if you own a first-generation (1G), second-generation (2G), or third-generation (3G) iPod, you can already do all those things. The only thing holding your iPod back is its firmware.

To unlock your iPod’s full potential, you’ll need to install the iPodLinux operating system on your player. The iPod Linux Project is an ever-evolving, community-developed assortment of applications, games, and other goodies that run on the iPodLinux operating system.

In short, the iPodLinux OS will turn your iPod into a dual-boot entertainment center packed with video, audio, games, and other apps. There are stable versions of iPodLinux available for first- (1G), second- (2G), and third-generation (3G) iPods. Versions also exist for the iPod Mini and fourth-generation iPods, but both are development versions, and they aren’t supported by the iPod Linux Project.
